The world was young, the mountains green, |
| [00:10.11] |
No stain yet on the Moon was seen, |
| [00:19.32] |
No words were laid on stream or stone |
| [00:28.00] |
When Durin woke and walked alone. |
| [00:38.77] |
He named the nameless hills and dells; |
| [00:47.53] |
He drank from yet untasted wells; |
| [00:55.84] |
He stooped and looked in Mirrormere, |
| [01:04.23] |
And saw a crown of stars appear, |
| [01:15.34] |
As gems upon a silver thread, |
| [01:20.87] |
Above the shadow of his head. |
| [01:29.12] |
The world was fair, the mountains tall, |
| [01:37.23] |
In Elder Days before the fall |
| [01:45.74] |
Of mighty kings in Nargothrond |
| [01:54.45] |
And Gondolin, who now beyond |
| [02:03.38] |
The Western Seas have passed away: |
| [02:08.87] |
The world was fair in Durin's Day. |
| [02:21.99] |
A king he was on carven throne |
| [02:30.26] |
In many-pillared halls of stone |
| [02:38.65] |
With golden roof and silver floor, |
| [02:46.96] |
And runes of power upon the door. |
| [02:55.69] |
The light of sun and star and moon |
| [03:03.66] |
In shining lamps of crystal hewn |
| [03:11.88] |
Undimmed by cloud or shade of night |
| [03:20.39] |
There shone for ever fair and bright. |
| [03:43.67] |
There hammer on the anvil smote, |
| [03:46.58] |
There chisel clove, and graver wrote; |
| [03:49.81] |
There forged was blade, and bound was hilt; |
| [03:54.35] |
The delver mined, the mason built. |
| [03:56.95] |
There beryl, pearl, and opal pale, |
| [03:59.33] |
And metal wrought like fishes' mail, |
| [04:04.20] |
Buckler and corslet, axe and sword, |
| [04:07.52] |
And shining spears were laid in hoard. |
| [04:15.00] |
Unwearied then were Durin's folk |
| [04:24.05] |
Beneath the mountains music woke: |
| [04:32.99] |
The harpers harped, the minstrels sang, |
| [04:41.60] |
And at the gates the trumpets rang. |
| [04:58.58] |
The world is grey, the mountains old, |
| [05:08.34] |
The forge's fire is ashen-cold |
| [05:17.81] |
No harp is wrung, no hammer falls: |
| [05:27.10] |
The darkness dwells in Durin's halls |
| [05:39.32] |
The shadow lies upon his tomb |
| [05:49.18] |
In Moria, in Khazad-d?m. |
| [05:59.09] |
But still the sunken stars appear |
| [06:09.23] |
In dark and windless Mirrormere; |
| [06:24.13] |
There lies his crown in water deep, |
| [06:30.39] |
Till Durin wakes again from sleep. |
