Here is our version of J.R.R. Tolkien's poem, "The Dragon Is Withered!" We hope you enjoy it:)

A note on our interpretation:

After capitalizing on the defeat of the dragon in our first release of this poem, we wanted to present the poem in its entirety and more in a style that would befit the scene as portrayed in the book. Therefore we went with a simpler, folk-like, fairytale kind of sound that is reminiscent of a happy and satisfying ending of a simple tale rather than our previous version which spoke the language of battle and triumph. However it may be worth noting that we used almost entirely the same themes as before just in a different and new way. We hope you enjoy this as much as we did making it! Thank you very much for continued support!

My brother composed and arranged the piece. My family sang it.

Lyrics:

"The Dragon Is Withered"

The dragon is withered,
His bones are now crumbled;
His armour is shivered,
His splendour is humbled!

Though sword shall be rusted,
And throne and crown perish
With strength that men trusted
And wealth that they cherish,

Here grass is still growing,
And leaves are yet swinging,
The white water flowing,
And elves are yet singing

Come! Tra-la-la-lally!
Come back to the valley!

The stars are far brighter
Than gems without measure,
The moon is far whiter
Than silver in treasure:

The fire is more shining
On hearth in the gloaming
Than gold won by mining,
So why go a-roaming?

O! Tra-la-la-lally
Come back to the Valley.

O! Where are you going,
So late in returning?
The river is flowing,
The stars are all burning!

O! Whither so laden,
So sad and so dreary?
Here elf and elf-maiden
Now welcome the weary

With Tra-la-la-lally
Come back to the Valley,
Tra-la-la-lally
Fa-la-la-lally
Fa-la!
