Somewhere Under the Barrow


Somewhere , under the barrow,
Fell things sleep;
From their tombs cold and narrow
Into your dreams they creep.

Somewhere, under a barrow,
Spirits wait.
Your lives they'll haunt and harrow,
Driven by greed and hate.

One day dear Frodo and his friends their paths across the Downs did wend:
Disaster!
Once separated in the mist their paths began to turn and twist,
O please run, faster!!

Somewhere under a barrow
Now they lie;
If Old Tom doesn't help them
They all will surely die.

Come Bombadil, by wind and weed
And save them in their time of need,
we plead!

These words are meant to parallel the rhyme and rhythm of Somewhere Over the Rainbow, which for comparison goes like this:

Somewhere, over the rainbow,
Way up high,
There's a land that I've heard of
Once in a lullaby.

Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue.
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true.

One day I'll wish upon a star and wake up where the clouds are far
Behind me;
Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me!

Somewhere over the rainbow,
Bluebirds fly;
Birds fly over the rainbow,
Why then O why can't I.

If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow, why O why can't I?
