Author: Himring
Characters: Bilbo (and many others)
Rating: G
Warnings: none
Book/Source: Lord of the Rings
Disclaimer: The song is Tolkien's and its history, too.
The tune was as old as the hills. Maybe Tom Bombadil had sung it, when he was still called Iarwain Ben-Adar. Maybe Gildor had sung it with his Wandering Companies. Maybe Dwarves had sung it, traveling eastward from the Blue Mountains. Certainly, Men had sung, hummed and whistled it, as they walked along, Dunedain and others, before the Shire had been settled. The tune changed words as people change their clothes.
Bilbo sat at the Green Dragon by the fire, after a satisfying stroll, and began to put words to it as it went through his head: Upon the Hearth…
A/N: Also written for an image prompt showing a lit hearth in a pub.
