Rossweisse and Grimgerde Coming out of the wood.	Hojotoho! Hojotoho!
The Valkeries	Be welcomed! Be welcomed!
Schwertleite	Went ye twain on one quest?
Grimgerde	No, singly we rode, And met but to-day.
Rossweisse	If we all are assembled Why linger longer? To Walhall let us away, Bringing to Wotan the slain.
Welmwige	We are but eight; Wanting is one.
Gerhilde	By the brown-eyed Wälsung Brünnhilde tarries,
Waltraute	Until she joins us Here we must wait; Warfather’s greeting Grim were indeed If we returned without her!
Siegrune On the look-out, calling towards the back.	Hojotoho! Hojoteho ! This way! This way ! [To the others. In hottest haste riding, Hither she comes.
The Valkyries All haſten ta the look-out.	Hojotoho! Hojotoho! Heiaha! Brünnhilde, hei! [They watch her with growing astoniſhment.
