Guessing Game!

Poem!

The finest rockets ever seen:
they burst in stars of blue and green,
or after thunder golden showers
came falling like a rain of flowers.

Author?

Title? --or if there is no title, source/body of work?

NO GOOGLING! IT'S AN HONOR THING.

The prize is the satisfaction of winning. It should be quite satisfying.

HA! No. I saw the answer, and there's now way I know because I skipped all the "poetry" in LotR. The story is amazing. The world he built is spectacular. The writing? It's EXTREMELY wordy.

Some of it I read, and some of it I skipped. All the elivish epic fairy tales I complete skipped. But Frodo's song for Gandalf (and Sam's verse right after it, seen here) is one of my favorite poems in the entire series. I even had it memorized once. My only other real favorite scene with poems/songs is from the Hobbit, when Bilbo is singing at the spiders in the trees to piss them off.
