"Far over the misty mountains cold
To dungeons deep and caverns erstwhile
Nosotros must away ere break of 24-hour interval
To seek the stake enchanted gold.

The dwarves of yore made mighty spells,
While hammers fell like ringing bells
In places deep, where dark things sleep,
In hollow halls below the fells.

For ancient king and elvish lord
In that location many a gleaming golden hoard
They shaped and wrought, and light they caught
To hibernate in gems on hilt of sword.

On silver necklaces they strung
The flowering stars, on crowns they hung
The dragon-fire, in twisted wire
They meshed the calorie-free of moon and sun.

Far over the misty mountains cold
To dungeons deep and caverns quondam
We must away, ere intermission of day,
To claim our long-forgotten gold.

Goblets they carved there for themselves
And harps of gold; where no human delves
There lay they long, and many a vocal
Was sung unheard by men or elves.

The pines were roaring on the height,
The air current was moaning in the night.
The fire was cerise, information technology flaming spread;
The trees like torches blazed with light.

The bells were ringing in the dale
And men looked upward with faces pale;
The dragon's ire more than tearing than fire
Laid depression their towers and houses delicate.

The mountain smoked beneath the moon;
The dwarves, they heard the tramp of doom.
They fled their hall to dying fall
Below his feet, beneath the moon.

Far over the misty mountains grim
To dungeons deep and caverns dim
Nosotros must away, ere break of day,
To win our harps and gold from him!"
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit
