[A horn on the stage, from the background on the left, very loud but distant.
HAGEN
[Listens and turns to Gunther.
Merrily hunting
After renown
Across the world
As through a wood,
Belike in his chase he will come,
To the Gibich's realm on the Rhine.
GUNTHER
Heartily welcome were he.
[A horn on the stage, nearer, but still distant. Both listen.
A horn from the Rhine I hear.
