[Verse 1]

The king he was on carven throne

In many-pillared halls of stone

With golden roof and silver floor

And runes of power upon the door

[Verse 2]

The light of sun and star and moon

In shining lamps of crystal hewn

Undimmed by cloud or shade of night

They shone for ever fair and wide

[Verse 3]

The world is grey, the mountains old

The forge's fire is ashen-cold

No harp is wrung, no hammer falls

The darkness dwells in Durin's halls

[Verse 4]

The shadow lies upon his tomb

In Moria, in Khazad-dûm

But still the sunken stars appear

In dark and windless Mirrormere

There lies his crown in water deep

Till Durin wakes again from sleep
