Far over the Misty Mountain’s Cold

To dungeons deep, and caverns old

We must away, eve break a day

To seek the pale enchanted gold

 

The dwarves of yore made mighty spells

While hammer’s fell like ringing bells

In places deep, where dark things sleep

In hollow halls beneath the fells

 

For ancient King and Elvish Lord

There many gleaming golden hoard

They shaped and wrought, and light they caught

To hide in gems on hilt of sword

 

On silver necklaces they strung

The Flowering stars, on the crowns they hung

The dragon-fire, in twisted wire

They meshed the light of moon and sun.

 

Far over the misty mountains cold

To dungeons deep and caverns old

We must away, eve break of day.

To claim our long-forgotten gold.

 

Golblets they carved there for themselves

And harps of gold: where no man delves

There lay they long, and many song

Was sung unheard by men and elves.

 

The pines were roaring on the height,

The winds were moaning in the night.

The fire was red, it flaming spread:

The trees like torches blazed with light

 

The bells were ringing in the dale

And men looking ip with faces pale;

The dragon’s ire more fierce then fire

Laid low their towers and houses frail.

 

The mountain smoked beneath the moon:

The dwarves they heard the tramp of the doom.

They fled their hall to dying fall

Beneath his feet, beneath the moon.

 

Far over the misty mountains grom

To dungeons deep and caverns dim

We must away, eve break of day.

To win our harps and gold from him!
