"Far over the misty mountains cold
To dungeons deep and caverns one-time
We must away ere break of day
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 beneath the fells.

For ancient king and elvish lord
There many a gleaming gilded hoard
They shaped and wrought, and calorie-free 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 lite of moon and sunday.

Far over the misty mountains cold
To dungeons deep and caverns old
We must abroad, ere break of twenty-four hour period,
To claim our long-forgotten gold.

Goblets they carved there 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 peak,
The wind was moaning in the dark.
The fire was ruby, it flaming spread;
The trees like torches blazed with light.

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

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

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