Brünnhild'!
GUNTHER
Nay, Siegfried, let us not barter;
All I have a bauble poor,
Matched with thy treasure, would be.
I will serve thee without reward.
[Hagen has gone to Gutrune's door, and now opens it.
GUTRUNE
[Enters carrying a full drinking-horn, with which she approaches Siegfried.
Welcome, O guest,
To Gibich's house!
'Tis his daughter gives thee to drink.
SIEGFRIED
[Bows in a friendly manner and takes the horn, which he holds thoughtfully before him.
Were all forgot
Thou gavest to me,
One lesson
I will never forget;
So this first draught
With love undying,
Brünnhild', I drink to thee!
[He puts the drinking-horn to his lips and takes a long draught; then he hands it back to Gutrune, who, ashamed and confused, casts down her eyes. Siegfried gazes at her with sudden passion.
SIEGFRIED
O thou who dost scorch
And blind with thine eyes,
Why sink them abashed by my gaze?
[Gutrune, blushing, looks up at him.
O lovely maid,
Lower thine eyes;
My heart is aflame,
Burnt by their light;
They kindle my blood; it flows
In devouring torrents of fire.
[With a trembling voice.
Gunther, what name is thy sister's?
GUNTHER
Gutrune.
SIEGFRIED [Softly.
Can those be good runes
That in her eyes I am reading?
[He ardently seizes Gutrune's hand.
With thy brother I was fain to serve;
His pride my prayer scorned.
Were I to pray the same of thee,
Wouldst thou like him be proud?
[Gutrune involuntarily meets Hagen's eye. She bows her head humbly, and, expressing her feeling of unworthiness with a gesture, leaves the hall with faltering steps.
SIEGFRIED
[Attentively watched by Hagen and Gunther, gazes after Gutrune as if entranced.
Gunther, hast thou a wife?
GUNTHER
I am not wed,
Nor, it would seem,
Likely to find a wife!
My heart on one I have set
Whom there is no way to win.
SIEGFRIED
[Turns with animation to Gunther.
In what canst thou fail
With me for friend?
GUNTHER
On rocky heights her home;
Surrounded by fire her hall;
SIEGFRIED
[Interrupting in wondering haste.
