[00:02.93]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.
