1

It was long ago that Gudrun intended to die,

when she sat sorrowful over Sigurd;

she did not weep or strike her hands together,

or lament like other women.

2

Very wise warriors stepped forward,

they tried to ease her fierceness of mind;*

even so Gudrun could not weep,

she was so impassioned, she might have burst asunder.

3

The gleaming wives of warriors,

adorned with gold, sat by Gudrun;

each of them told of their great grief,

the bitterest which had been visited on them.
