THE OTHER VALKYRIES [Running into the wood.

Sister! Sister!
What has occurred?

[The Valkyries all return to the stage; Brünnhilde accompanies them, leading and supporting Sieglinde.

Turns and looks
out anxiously,
then comes back.

BRÜNNHILDE [Breathless.

Shield me and help
In dire distress!

THE VALKYRIES

Whence rodest thou hither,
Hasting so hard?
Thus ride they only who flee.

BRÜNNHILDE

I flee for the first time
And am pursued:
Warfather follows close.

THE VALKYRIES [Terribly alarmed.

Hast thou gone crazy?
Speak to us! What?
Pursued by Warfather?
Flying from him?

BRÜNNHILDE [Turns and looks out anxiously, then comes back.

O sisters, spy
From the rocky peak!
Look north and tell me
If Warfather nears!

[Ortlinde and Waltraute spring up the peak to the look-out.

Quick! Is he in sight?

ORTLINDE

A storm from the north
Is nearing.

WALTRAUTE

Darkly the clouds
Congregate there.

THE VALKYRIES

Warfather, riding
His sacred steed, comes!

BRÜNNHILDE

The wrathful hunter,
He rides from the north;
He nears, he nears, in fury!
Save this woman!
Sisters your help!

BRÜNNHILDE

* "I flee for the first time

And am pursued:

Warfather follows close.

.....................

He nears, he nears, in fury!

Save this woman!

Sisters, your help!"

THE VALKYRIES

What threatens the woman?

BRÜNNHILDE

Hark to me quickly!
Sieglinde this is,
Siegmund's sister and bride.
Wotan his fury
Against the Wälsungs has turned.
He told me
That to-day I must fail
The brother in strife;
