The Sea-Bell
"The Sea-Bell" or "Frodos Dreme" is a poem by J.R.R. Tolkien included in his 1962 collection of verse ''The Adventures of Tom Bombadil''.
==Background==
The work is based on an earlier poem entitled "Looney", which Tolkien had published in ''The Oxford Magazine'' in 1934.〔(Michael D. C. Drout, ''J.R.R. Tolkien Encyclopedia: Scholarship and Critical Assessment'' ), Routledge, 2013, p. 517.〕 The 1962 version of the poem is considerably darker than, and twice as long as, the earlier version. Tolkien was initially reluctant to include the work in the collection, feeling that it was out of keeping with the other poems.〔(Verlyn Flieger, ''A Question of Time: J.R.R. Tolkien's Road to Faërie'' ), The Kent State University Press, 1997, p. 208.〕
Although "Looney" was composed long before Tolkien began work on ''The Lord of the Rings'', the 1962 version is subtitled "Frodos Dreme". Tolkien's mock-academic introduction to the collection suggests that, although the poem may not have been composed by Frodo Baggins, it was associated with him by its readers and reflects the dark dreams that plagued him in his final days in the Shire.
