Mirrormere
Read Mirrormere
Khazad-dûm rises and Khazad-dûm falls, while
Here on the east-side of Durin's great halls,
Evening sky-blue with its star-crown of fame, lies
'Lake Looking-Glass' (as the Elves give it name).
Endlessly waiting for Durin to wake
Dimrill Dale's glory, o'erlooked by Zirak
-Zigil, Barazinbar, Bundushathûr
Azanulbizar's grim battle it saw.
Reflecting the mountains, the stars still appear
And dark is the water of fair
Mirrormere.
