Ah!! (insert smiley with lightbulb here) It's in the Tom Bombadil poems, from "Perry-The-Winkle":
Quote:
The Lonely Troll he sat on a stone
and sang a mournful lay:
'O why, O why must I live on my own
in the hills of Faraway?
My folk are gone beyond recall
and take no thought of me;
alone I'm left, the last of all
from Weathertop to the Sea.'
