The Battle of Bywater

Each year, this day,
all of Bywater and Hobbiton gather by the Stone, and the children recite the names of the fallen,
laying glowing chrysanthemums in bright piles.
Then all recite the list of those who fought, starting with Captains Merry and Pippin.
The fallen are named twice, as ought to be; they gave their all, you see.
Feast follows, song and laughter, such as they fought to defend; nay, to restore!

But this is the most important part:
Swords hang over the hearth,
Bows are for hunting,
Axes rest by the woodpile, and
Pitchforks hang up in the barn.
