I don't think so. It seems...well... too despairing to be sung in the Old Forest, although I doubt that there can be such a thing as too much despair in Tolkien's mythos. <P><BR>Pippin was probably feeling a general sense of hopelessness, and that age-old "What am I doing here? This is too big for me!" feeling. I mean, it was his first trip out of the Shire, and what happened? He saw his mentor and friend die, got captured by Orcs, had a mental duel with the Dark Lord, and to top it all off, was stuck with a psychotic pyromaniac who treated his son like crap! I'd be feeling pretty hopeless too in that situation.
