Golden light from Laurelin And silver from Telperion Shining bright in Valinor Yavanna's work was beautiful Thought to be immutable But jealous Melkor fled to Avathar Hiding in the lightless dark Where he sought to find The spider from the depth of time And so he went plotting with Ungoliant Hidden deep in her crevice From the trees of light From their leaves shining gold Gold and silver bright But ever hungry was she for The light she feared So Morgoth' devious plan she gladly heared And lightly he there promised That when the trees Were gone and vanished And their glow forever banished And she still would hunger more Ye with both hand he'd give her all And in his heart he laughed As he did not plan To pay the spider for her craft But the lesser thief Took the lure And in a cloak of dark, Ungoliant obscured them in Unlight as they set forth Then she slowly wrought her webs Rope by rope, from cleft to cleft Climbing, crawling, clinging Ever upwards to Hyarmentir While the Valar were Feasting, dancing, singing 'Twas the first gathering of fruit that year So without vigilance they were When swiftly Melkor swept Down the western slopes and crept Across the plains of Valinor Like a strange cloud Upon the sunlit earth without a sound Came they to green mound Ezellohar Where the trees were standing tall And Melkor jumped upon it And with his black spear Smote each tree to its core And their sap flowed from it Like blood in Valinor And Ungoliant she sucked it up and drained Root and branch and leaf forever stained The poison of Ungoliant Killed the trees and darkened them The Wells of Varda she drank dry And belched forth black vapors to the sky And swelled to a vast and hideous shape That even Melkor was afraid Valinor of beauty and light bereft In dark cloud again they fled First north and east o'er ice and south They escaped the Valars wrath And no song or tale Could contain the grief and terror that befell A darkness made by malice out of light Setting in ev'ry heart a doubt and fright
