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.

金子未必都閃光，遊民未必是流氓。
老當益壯葆青春，根深蒂固經風霜。
死灰復燃火勢旺，昏天暗地光清揚。
寶劍鋒自斷鏨出，無冕之王又坐莊
