Bilbo's Last Song is considered by many to be Tolkien's epilogue to
his classic work The Lord of the Rings. As Bilbo Baggins takes his
final voyage to the Undying Lands, he must say goodbye to Middle-earth.
Poignant and lyrical, the song is both a longing to set forth on his
ultimate journey and a tender farewell to friends left behind.
Pauline Baynes's jewel-like illustrations lushly depict both this final
voyage and scenes from The Hobbit, as Bilbo remembers his first
journey while he prepares for his last.
