BRÜNNHILDE
The ring—away?
WALTRAUTE
To the Rhine-daughters give it again.
BRÜNNHILDE
The Rhine-daughters—I—the ring?
Siegfried's love-pledge?
Hast thou gone crazy?
WALTRAUTE
Hear me! Hear my despair!
On this hangs
The world's undoing and woe.
Throw it from thee
Into the water;
End the anguish of Walhall;
The accurst thing cast in the waves!
BRÜNNHILDE
