In Khazad-dûm did evil fall
And stately Aragorn despair:
Where Gandalf, wizard grey, he fell
Through caverns measureless by ell
Down to the Endless Stair.
Up twice five miles through carven stone
With staff and sword he chased alone:
Until he reached the lonely Durin's Tower,
Where awaited him an incensed bleeding Balrog;
And here both sides were matched by equal power,
Expiring to go to the Halls of Mandos.

A damsel with a mithril harp
in a vision once came to my sight:
It was a Lorien elven-maid
And on her mithril harp she played
Singing of Mount Everwhite.
