Durin's Bed

On an island of Durin

In the far east ward cave

There lay a stone

A flat stony bed

A hallway stood

With mounted pillars

Shoulder width

Going east to west

A passage way existed

Between each set of rows

Each pillar mounted on a podium rock

The gold that glittered

The ornament that was placed

Were placed as runes

Around the stony bed

The island of Durin

We were put on to safeguard

The caves that glittered

Of gold and diamonds

The fissures that lie

In the roof above

Among the stones

That brought daylight

The wind blue

As we heard

The music that played

Through the holes

In the halls of Durin

We were all mesmerized

Standing there we weren’t sure

Of what to safeguard

The wind or the stone

  

The runes displayed told a story

Of greed that stayed

In the tomb of Durin

Where the last king of men

Was laid in heaven
