"Far over the misty mountains common cold
To dungeons deep and caverns old
We must away ere interruption of mean solar day
To seek the pale enchanted aureate.

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 male monarch and elvish lord
There many a 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 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 old
We must away, ere break of mean solar day,
To claim our long-forgotten gilded.

Goblets they carved at that place for themselves
And harps of golden; where no man delves
There lay they long, and many a song
Was sung unheard by men or elves.

The pines were roaring on the acme,
The wind was moaning in the night.
The burn down was blood-red, it flaming spread;
The trees similar torches blazed with low-cal.

The bells were ringing in the dale
And men looked up with faces pale;
The dragon'southward ire more than fierce than burn down
Laid low their towers and houses frail.

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

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