Page "Robert Plant" Paragraph 20

Plant was also influenced by J. R. R. Tolkien, whose book series inspired lyrics in some early Led Zeppelin songs.

Most notably " The Battle of Evermore ", " Misty Mountain Hop ", " No Quarter ", " Ramble On " and " Over the Hills and Far Away " contain verses referencing Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit.

Conversely, Plant sometimes used more straightforward blues-based lyrics dealing primarily with sexual innuendo, as in " The Lemon Song ", " Trampled Under Foot ", and " Black Dog ".
