[She listens.
No!—he
Has not returned.
Troubled was my sleep
By evil dreams!
Then wildly neighed his horse;
Brünnhild' laughed,
And I woke up afraid.
What woman was it
I saw go down to the shore?
I fear this Brünnhild'!
Is she within?
[She listens at the door at the right and calls.
Brünnhild'! Brünnhild'!
Art awake?
[She opens the door timidly and looks into the inner room.
No one is there!
So it was she
I saw go downwards to the Rhine.
[A distant horn sounds.
Was that his horn?
No!
All silent!
[She looks out anxiously.
