He hadn't words for that face; gardeners weren't schooled that way. But when he looked at Frodo he had to bite his lip just to keep from crying.
Those eyes, they were so beautiful and far-off, like moonlight dancing off the Water a far pace off, just glimpsed through the trees. You'd never reach it before the beauty faded, and Sam had long ago given up trying.
Rosie was hobbit-fair, and he loved her for it, but Frodo... Frodo was beautiful like elves. Unreachable, untouchable, too high for a Gamgee -- and yet Sam loved him, whether or no.

Canon After-Note:
Frodo's face was peaceful, the marks of fear and care had left it; but it looked old, old and beautiful. [...] [Sam] shook his head, as if finding words useless, and murmured: 'I love him. He's like that, and sometimes it shines through, somehow. But I love him, whether or no.' ("Of Herbs and Stewed Rabbit", The Two Towers)
