and copper is smelted from ore.
A miner puts an end to the darkness;

for ore in the gloomy darkness.

in places unknown to those who walk above ground.

Food may come from the earth,
but below the surface the earth is transformed as by fire.
Its rocks are a source of sapphire,
containing flecks of gold.
No bird of prey knows that path;
no falcon’s eye has seen it.
Proud beasts have never walked on it;
no lion has ever prowled over it.
The miner strikes the flint
and transforms the mountains at their foundations.
He cuts out channels in the rocks,
and his eyes spot every treasure.
