Lord of the Rings as written by Emily Dickinson
[all that remains is this fragment, found in a diary]
A hobbit, a mere hobbit
That ventured far from the shire
Entrusted with –
the keeping of
– a ring of power
Found adventures beyond his dreams
– where Death was unknown
– he made acquaintance
of creatures great and terrible
ever still holding on–
to the ring of power–
