And know you that surely? For all your days?

Solveig.

The path I have trodden leads back nevermore.

Peer.

You are mine then! In! In the room let me see you!

Go in! I must go to fetch fir-roots[[61]] for fuel.

Warm shall the fire be and bright shall it shine,

You shall sit softly and never be a-cold.

[He opens the door; Solveig goes in. He stands still for a while, then laughs aloud with joy and leaps into the air.

Peer.
