Bilbo's last song is my favourite. It doesn't appear in Lord of the Rings but it was used in the BBC radio adaptation.
Here's the last verse:
"Guided by the Lonely Star,
beyond the utmost harbour-bar,
I'll find the heavens fair and free,
and beaches of the Starlit Sea.
Ship, my ship! I seek the West,
and fields and mountains ever blest.
Farewell to Middle-earth at last.
I see the Star above my mast!"
