I don't think that the song talks about death. When it talks about silver glass and white shores, if you remember that at the end of the chapter "Grey Havens" in <I>The Return of the King</I>, it says that when Frodo is on the ship for Valinor it was like the dream that he had at Bombadil's. The rain turned in a curtain of silver glass and rolled back to show white shores and beyond that a green courtry of Valinor under a sunrise. Instead of showing that in the movie PJ just had Gandalf describe it to Pippin like where they go when they die but techincally it is never said where hobbits go when they die.<P>[ 3:53 PM January 01, 2004: Message edited by: Eldawen of Lorien ]<p>[ 3:55 PM January 01, 2004: Message edited by: Eldawen of Lorien ]
