An Ode to a Ring
How do I loves theeeeee....? Letssss Gollum count the wayssss...
I loves theeee to the deeps and breadths and heights
Gollum's soul can reach, when feeeeeling out of sight
For the endsss of Beeeeings and ideal Grace.
I loves theeeee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by nasssty Sun and candle lightsss.
I loves theeee freely, as men strive for Right;
I loves theeee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I loves theeee with the passion put to use
In my old griefsss, and with my childhood's faith.
I loves theeee with a love I seeeeemed to loooose
With my lost saintsss - I loves theeeee with the breathsss,
Smilesss, tearsss, of all Gollum's life! - and, if Master chooses,
I shall but loves theeee better after death...my precioussss...
