I learned it from Mr. Bilbo when I was a lad. He used to tell me tales like that, knowing how I was always one for hearing about Elves.

If morning out of Mordor is red
her handprints under the Sea are seen;

When evening in the Shire was grey
his footsteps on the Hill were heard;
before the dawn he went away
on journey long without a word.

Life we can take undeservedly or deservedly, but patronymics he well give us not of aristocrats, or officials, or slavemasters

edit: PS for Evisse - it is not from the Hobbit, chapter 15, by the way
