| And shadowy shapes did stare and roam | 
| Beneath the dark and starry dome | 
| That hung above the dawn of Earth | 
| And shaken it with silver mirth | 
| In later days when Morgoth first | 
| Fleeing the Gods, their bondage burst | 
| And on the mortal lands set feet | 
| Far in the north on his mighty seat | 
| There once, and long and long ago | 
| Before the sun and moon we know | 
| Were lit to sail above the world | 
| When first the shaggy woods unfurled | 
| There once, and long and long ago | 
| Before the sun and moon we know | 
| Were lit to sail above the world | 
| When first the shaggy woods unfurled |

| Death to light, to law, to love | 
| Cursed be moon and stars and stars above | 
| May darkness the everlasting old |
