- Where art thou, Siegmund?
- Art thou still here,
- Fervently loved one,
- Beautiful brother?
- Let thine eyes like stars
Shine again on me softly;
- Turn not away
From the outcast woman’s kiss!
[She throws herself sobbing on his breaſt, and presently ſtarts up in terror again.
- Hark! O hark!
- That is Hunding’s horn!
- With his hounds full force,
- In haste he comes.
- No sword helps
- When the dogs attack:——
- Throw it down, Siegmund!
- Siegmund, where art thou?
- Ha, there! I see thee now!
- Horrible sight!
- Eager-fanged
- Are the bloodhounds for flesh;
- Ah, what to them
- Is thy noble air!
- By the feet they seize thee
- With terrible teeth;
- Alas!
Thou fallest with splintered sword:——
- The ash-tree sinks——
- The trunk is rent!
- Brother! My brother!
- Siegmund—ha!
[Sg falls fainting into his arms.
