Hall Of The Mountain King

Deep within a mountain high that's capped with ice and snow
Lies a place among the rocks where only wee folk go
If you can find your way there it’s a very wondrous thing
There within the mists you’ll find the Hall of the Mountain King

There are precious gems and diamonds on every sparkling wall
Blocks of brightly shining gold line the walkway of the hall
The little people sing and dance in this underground delight
The air within the cavern glows as fairies all take flight

Like shining pools of starlight inside the darkened cave
They fly among the caverns heights and make the shadows wave
The Mountain King sits sadly on his jewel encrusted throne
He doesn’t have a queen so he must rule his realm alone

At night he sends his fairies out to search among the land
With a magic ring of gold to place on some poor maiden’s hand
The fairies keep a watchful eye for one to take the ring
And rule the fairy kingdom there beside the Mountain King

I really like the fairy and mountain king allusions.
The rhymes seem natural too.

I do a transcription of "Hall of the Mountain King" on the classical guitar. This takes the music to another level! A marvelous read!
