The world was young, the mountains green , |
| [00:09.67] |
No stain yet on the moon was seen, |
| [00:18.81] |
No words were laid on stream or stone |
| [00:27.56] |
When Durin woke and walked alone. |
| [00:37.82] |
He named the nameless hills and dells; |
| [00:47.26] |
He drank from yet untasted wells; |
| [00:55.84] |
He looked and saw in Mirrormere, |
| [01:04.17] |
And saw a crown of stars appear, |
| [01:15.14] |
As gems upon a sliver thread, |
| [01:20.75] |
Above the shadow of his head. |
| [01:29.24] |
The world was fair, the mountains tall , |
| [01:36.62] |
In Elder Days before the fall |
| [01:45.02] |
Of might kings in Nargothrond |
| [01:53.56] |
And Gondolin, who was now beyond |
| [02:02.99] |
The Western Sea have passed away: |
| [02:08.51] |
The world was fair in Durin's Day |
| [02:21.50] |
A king he was on the carven throne |
| [02:29.79] |
In many-pillared halls of stone |
| [02:38.07] |
With golden roof and silver floor |
| [02:46.26] |
and runs of power upon the door |
| [02:54.73] |
The light of sun and star and moon |
| [03:03.14] |
In shining lamps of crystal hewn |
| [03:11.41] |
Undimmed by cloud or shade of night |
| [03:19.77] |
There shone for ever fair and bright |
| [03:43.20] |
There hammers on the anvil smote, |
| [03:45.93] |
There chisel clove, and graver wrote; |
| [03:49.90] |
There forged was blade, and bound was hilt; |
| [03:53.35] |
The deliver mined, the mason built. |
| [03:56.57] |
There beryl, pearl, and opal pale, |
| [03:59.72] |
And metal wrought like fishes mail, |
| [04:03.72] |
Buckler and corslet, axe and sword, |
| [04:06.97] |
And shining spearswere laid in hoard |
| [04:14.49] |
Unwearied then were Durin's folk |
| [04:24.60] |
Beneath the mountains music woke: |
| [04:33.62] |
The harps harped, the minstrels sang, |
| [04:42.36] |
and at the gates the trumpets rang. |
| [04:59.03] |
The world is grey, the mountains old, |
| [05:07.82] |
The forge'fire is ashen-cold; |
| [05:17.33] |
No harp is wrung, no hammer falls: |
| [05:26.92] |
The darkness dwells in Durin'halls; |
| [05:39.20] |
The shadow lies upon his tomb |
| [05:48.78] |
In Moria, in Khazad-d?m. |
| [05:58.43] |
But still the sunken stars appear |
| [06:09.09] |
In dark and windless Mirrormere; |
| [06:23.01] |
There lies his crown in water deep, |
| [06:28.84] |
Till Durin wakes again from sleep. |
