Bilbos Last Song

This is a poem that didn't appear in book nor movie, its a poem by Tolkien, it was given to his secretary, Joy Hill in 1968 after she discovered it in Tolkien's library. Joy is mentioned in the video on the top, which is the poem given to Joy and set to music by Donald Swann who was shown the poem after Tolkien's death in 1973 and liked it so much he set it to music. Under this writing is a picture of Joy and Tolkien. It should of been sung by Bilbo when he was leaving for the Undying Lands, at the Grey Haven but it was written after the book had been published and thus was not put into the book, but I do wonder why they didn't dig for this poem when they were making the movie, because it would add that hobbit singsong style at the end that would be amazing to finish the trilogy.
