Bilbo’s Last Song

Bilbo’s Last Song (At Grey Havens) is a poem about leaving Middle-Earth. It first appeared, as seen here, as a poster published in 1974 by George Allen & Unwin Ltd., the original English publisher of his famous novels, with illustrations by Pauline Baynes (1922-2008), who illustrated many of Tolkien’s publications. Chronologically, the poem takes place at the end of the last volume of Lord of the Rings, however it was never included in the series.
