Bilbo's Last Song by: J.R.R. Tolkien
Day is ended, dim my eyes, but journey long before me lies.
Farewell, friends! I hear the call. The ship's beside the stony wall.
Foam is white and waves are grey; beyond the sunset leads my way.
Foam is salt, the wind is free; I hear the rising of the Sea.
Farewell, friends! The sails are set, the wind is east, the mooring fret.
Shadows long before me lie, beneath the ever-bending sky,
But islands lie behind the Sun that I shall raise ere all is done,
Lands there are to west of West, where night is quiet and sleep is rest.
Guided by the Lonely star, beyond the utmost harbour-bar
I'll find the havens fair and free, and beaches of the Starlit Sea.
Ship, my ship! I seek the West, and fields and mountains ever blest.
Farewell to Middle-earth at last, I see the Star above your mast!

I love it Ashra. It makes a fitting end for Mr. Bilbo Baggins, as he and Frodo leave Middle Earth on the last Elven ship, with Gandolf and ....... Nuts! I can't remember his name, lol.
