Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,

Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone.

Nine for Mortal men doomed to die,

One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne

In the land of Mordor where the shadows lie,

One Ring to rule them all,

One Ring to find them,

One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them

In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.

Bilbo's Phrase for Aragorn

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall awoken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.

-Bilbo Baggins

The Long List of The Ents

The Long List of the Ents is a list of living creatures that the Ent Treebeard, and presumably other Ents as well, learned when he was young. When he first meets Meriadoc Brandybuck and Peregrin Took, he is puzzled by them because Hobbits are not in the list.

Learn now the Lore of Living Creatures!
First name the four, the free peoples:
Eldest of all, the elf-children;
Dwarf the delver, dark are his houses;
Ent the earthborn, old as mountains;
Man the mortal, master of horses:
Beaver the builder, buck the leaper,
Bear bee-hunter, boar the fighter;
Hound is hungry, hare is fearful,
Eagle in eyrie, ox in pasture,
Hart horn-crownéd; hawk is swiftest,
Swan the whitest, serpent coldest...

Treebeard doesn't finish the list but Merry and Pippin suggest a line to be added after Man:

Half-grown Hobbits, the hole-dwellers.

Later, after the fall of Isengard, Treebeard says he has put new lines into the list for Ents to remember:

Ents the earthborn, old as mountains,
the wide walkers, water drinking;
and hungry as hunters, the Hobbit children,
the laughing-folk, the little people

Frodo's Walking Song

The Road goes ever on and on,
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.

Though Frodo sang this song, his voice became weary at the word eager.

Bibo's Song for The End of The Journey

“The Road goes ever on and on, out from the door where it began.

Now far ahead the Road has gone,

let others follow it if who can.

Let them a journey new begin,

but I at last with weary feet will turn towards the lighted inn,

my evening-rest and sleep to meet.”

This song describes the end of a journey, and the begging of a new one.
