BRÜNNHILDE'S VOICE
Strike him, Siegmund!
Trust to the sword!
[Brünnhilde appears in the glare of light, floating above Siegmund, and protecting him with her shield. Just as Siegmund is aiming a deadly blow at Hunding a glowing red light breaks through the clouds from the left, in which Wotan appears, standing over Hunding and holding his spear across in front of Siegmund.
WOTAN'S VOICE
Back! Back from the spear!
In splinters the sword!
[Brünnhilde with her shield recoils in terror before Wotan; Siegmund's sword breaks in splinters on the outstretched spear. Hunding plunges his sword into the disarmed man's breast. Siegmund falls down dead, and Sieglinde, who has heard his death-sigh, sinks to the ground as if lifeless. With Siegmund's fall the lights on both sides disappear. Dense clouds shroud all but the foreground in darkness. Through these Brünnhilde is dimly seen turning in wild haste to Sieglinde.
BRÜNNHILDE
To horse, that I may save thee!
[She lifts Sieglinde up quickly on to her horse, which is standing near the side ravine, and immediately disappears. Thereupon the clouds divide in the middle, so that Hunding, who has just drawn his sword out of Siegmund's breast, is distinctly seen. Wotan, surrounded by clouds, stands on a rock behind, leaning on his spear and gazing sorrowfully on Siegmund's body.
WOTAN [To Hunding.
Begone, slave!
Kneel before Fricka;
Tell her that Wotan's spear
Has slain what mocked her might.
Go! Go!
[Before the contemptuous wave of his hand Hunding falls dead to the ground. Suddenly breaking out in terrible anger.
But Brünnhilde!
Woe to the guilty one!
Woe to her
As soon as my horse
Shall overtake her in flight!
[He vanishes with thunder and lightning. The curtain falls quickly.
THE THIRD ACT
On the top of a rocky mountain
On the right the stage is bounded by a pine-wood. On the left is the entrance to a cave, above which the rock rises to its highest point. At the back the view is quite open. Rocks of varying heights form the edge of the precipice. Clouds fly at intervals past the mountain peak as if driven by storm. Gerhilde, Ortlinde, Waltraute, and Schwertleite have taken up their position on the rocky peak above the cave. They are in full armour.
GERHILDE
[On the highest point, calling towards the background, where a dense cloud is passing.
Hojotoho! Hojotoho!
Heiaha! Heiaha!
Helmwige! Here!
Guide hither thy horse!
HELMWIGE'S VOICE [At the back.
Hojotoho! Hojotoho!
Hojotoho! Hojotoho!
Heiaha!
[A flash of lightning comes from the cloud, showing a Valkyrie on horseback, on whose saddle hangs a slain warrior. The apparition, approaching the cliff, passes from left to right.
GERHILDE, WALTRAUTE AND SCHWERTLEITE [Calling to her as she draws near.
Heiaha! Heiaha!
[The cloud with the apparition vanishes to the right behind the wood.
ORTLINDE [Calling into the wood.
Thy stallion make fast
By Ortlinde's mare;
Gladly my grey
Will graze by thy chestnut!
WALTRAUTE [Calling towards the wood.
Who hangs at thy saddle?
HELMWIGE [Coming out of the wood.
Sintolt the Hegeling!
SCHWERTLEITE
Fasten thy chestnut
Far from the grey then;
Ortlinde's mare
Carries Wittig, the Irming!
GERHILDE [Descending a little towards the others.
And Sintolt and Wittig
Always were foemen!
ORTLINDE [Springs up and runs to the wood.
Heiaha! Heiaha!
The horse is kicking my mare!
GERHILDE [Laughing aloud withHELMWIGE AND SCHWERTLEITE.
