The Valkyrie
Waltraute
See, she leads woodward
Her staggering horse.
Grimgerde
From swift riding
How Grane pants!
Rossweisse
No Valkyrie’s flight
Ever so fast was.
Ortlinde
What lies on her saddle?
Welmwige
That is no man!
Sieqrune
’Tis a woman, see!
Gerhilde
Where found she the maid?
Schwertleite
Has she no greeting
For her sisters?
Waltraute
Calling down very loudly.
Heiaha! Brünnhilde!
Dost thou not hear?
Ortlinde
From her horse
Let us help our sister.
[Helmwige and Gerhilde run to the wood, followed by Siegrune and Roſsweiſse.
The Valkyries
Hojotoho! Hojotoho!
Heiaha!
Waltraute
Looking into the wood.
To earth has sunk
Grane the strong one!
Grimgerde
From the saddle swift
She snatches the maid.
The other Valkyries
Running to the wood.
Sister! Sister!
What has occurred?
[The Valkyries all return to the ſtage; Brünnhilde accompanies them, leading and supporting Sieglinde.
