The Sea-Bell

"The Sea-Bell" is a poem written by J.R.R. Tolkien included in The Adventures of Tom Bombadil and Other Verses from the Red Book. Its precursor was "Looney", written around 1932 or 1933 and published in the January 18, 1934 issue of Oxford Magazine.
In Tolkien's legendarium, "The Sea-Bell" was written by a hobbit who titled it "Frodos Dreme", though the piece was probably not written by Frodo Baggins. The title suggests that this poem concerned the dark dreams Frodo experienced during the anniversaries of his injury at Weathertop Hill and his poisoning by Shelob. Another explanation is that it refers to how hobbits taken by the "wandering-madness" would afterwards be "queer and uncommunicable."The Adventures of Tom Bombadil and Other Verses from the Red Book (2014 edition), Preface
