[ A small smile graces him now as he looks towards the hobbit. ]

Let this melody linger deep within you, Frodo, as it has lingered within me. Since childhood I have held this song dear and its poetic words close to my heart.

[ His smile grows. ]

Aye, I have always possessed such a fondness for odes since my early days. While you may not think it, Lord Elrond also possesses a strong fondness for these songs. Hence how I came to learn and cherish them as much as I do.
