When evening in the Shire was grey |
[00:47.07] |
his footsteps on the Hill were heard; |
[00:52.90] |
before the dawn he went away |
[01:00.33] |
on journey long without a word. |
[01:17.96] |
From Wilderland to Western shore, |
[01:23.63] |
form northern waste to southern hill |
[01:30.27] |
through dragon-lair and hidden door |
[01:35.99] |
and darkling woods he walked at will. |
[01:52.17] |
With Dwarves and Hobbits, Elves and Men, |
[01:55.61] |
with mortal and immortal folk, |
[02:01.25] |
with bird on bough and beast in den, |
[02:08.38] |
in their own secret tounges he spoke. |
[02:25.66] |
A deadly sword, a healing hand, |
[02:31.55] |
a back that bent beneath its load; |
[02:37.64] |
a trumpet-voice, a burning brand, |
[02:44.91] |
a weary pilgrim on the road. |
[03:02.63] |
A lord of wisdom throned he sat, |
[03:08.79] |
swift in anger, quick to laugh; |
[03:15.61] |
an old man in a battered hat |
[03:21.68] |
who leaned upon a thorny staff. |
[03:37.84] |
He stood upon the bridge alone |
[03:41.62] |
and Fire and Shadow both defied; |
[03:48.14] |
his staff was broken on the stone, |
[03:57.31] |
in Khazad-dum his wisdom died. |
[04:27.74] |
The finest rockets ever seen: |
[04:32.40] |
they burst instars of blue and green, |
[04:37.50] |
or after thunder golden showers |
[04:43.71] |
came falling like a rain of flowers. |
