All That Is Gold Does Not Glitter

All that is Gold does not glitter The sultriest of beauties carry thorns The humblest little soft petalled jasmine A feast for afternoon tea and sweet perfume The best cut diamonds that glitter and shine A molten rock culled from blackest coal And the girl who just walked away with the first trophy For best vocal, someone you would have thought a nobody by john tiong chunghoo inspired b y All That is Gold Does Not Glitter All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king. JRR Tolkien
