Summary: A song of exile




Wish for home and hope for peace
Work to prosper, Make, increase
Love and labor never cease

Wish for battle, hope for war
Axe and halberd march before
Hearth and hall to claim once more

Wish for riches, hope for gold
Work to mine the wealth untold
Treasure neither bought nor sold

Wish for work and hope for pay
Labor 'neath bright sky or grey
A season or a span to stay

Wish for caverns, hope for stone
Work to shape, to carve and hone
Mountain halls to call our own
