The dragon is withered
His bones are now crumbled!
His armor is shriveled
His splendor is humbled!
Oh, Tra-la-la-lally!
Here down in the valley! Ha-Ha!

Though sword shall be rusted
And throne and crown perish
With strength that men trusted
And wealth that they cherish
Oh, Tra-la-la-lally!
Here down in the valley! Ha-Ha!

The stars are far brighter
Than gems without measure
The moon is far whiter
Than silver in treasure:
And leaves are yеt swinging!
And elves are yеt singing!
Come back to the valley! Ha-Ha

Oh where are you going
So late in returning?
The river is flowing
The stars are all burning!
Ah-ha-la-la-lally!
Here down in the valley! Ha-Ha!
