Arcenstone |
|
|
|
Here Thorin, lay your Arcenstone, upon your breast |
|
and let it lay there until the moutain falls |
|
and may it bring good fortune to all your folk that dwell here after |
|
|
|
In your tomb Thorin, lay your sword Orcrist, never was it wielded by a mightier hand. |
|
|
|
Did you see the Arcenstone? |
|
|
|
It was like a gloom, with a thousand facetts |
|
It shone like silver in the firelight |
|
like water in the sun, |
|
like snow under the stars, |
|
like rain upon the moon |
|
|
|
The adventure starts my friend off we go |
|
|
|
Far away, Lonely Mountain its dark head in (a) torn cloud |
|
|
|
This night was the worst, and then became pitchdark, so dark, (that you can) see nothing. |
