By Allegretta Aleford Some information about the artist:If I ever had to leave the Shire If I had to go away The mem'ries I would take Would see me through the day If the green and gentle Shire I love Was lost to me, I know My life would lose its smile The colour all would go And when the night Would settle all around I'd dream of here And fear to wake If the Shire was far behind me And my friends were far away Nowhere else would be so fair Though in silken sheets I lay Given palaces and riches They could not get me to stay I'd strive to get back home I'd hobble all the way And when I saw this Green and pleasant land I'd know that I Had come back to my home. |
