This ring of mine I give thee;

Let it pay for thy runes.

Of whatever deeds I did

The virtue lies therein.

By my hand was the dragon grim,

Who long had guarded it, slain;

Keep thou the gold and its might

As token true of my love!

BRÜNNHILDE

[Putting on the ring in rapturous delight.

I covet it more than all else!

For the ring take Grane, my horse.

Through the air with me

He galloped once boldly,

But lost with mine

Was his magic art;

Upon clouds and storm,

Through thunder and lightning

No more

Gallantly now will he sweep!

But if thou lead the way,

Even through fire

Fearlessly Grane will follow.

For henceforth, hero,

Thou art his master!

Entreat him well;

He knows thy voice;

O, greet him often

In Brünnhilde's name!

SIEGFRIED

Then every deed that I dare

Will be achieved through thy virtue

All my battles thou wilt choose, And my victories will be thine.

Upon thy good horse riding,

And sheltered by thy shield,

No longer Siegfried am I,

But only Brünnhilde's arm!
