All that is gold, does not glitter, A very old an common proverb Said by many ethnicities Knowing four languages I heard it many times As if I'm counting my hair. The rhyme of this poem says a lot more than a gold.

@ Yasmin A Just so ya know Tolkein wrote Lord of the Rings, and while, yes, your interpretation is true, that is only if you are taking it literrally with the context in the books. However, you must consider that Tolkien may have intended for this poem to have more than one meaning that is not confined to the context of Lord of the Rings, which is to say that all the other interpretations could be correct as well.
