Dansberg.You lie, you lie; you see it not, you lie!

The storm-flood sweeps the river, and its foam

Runs tawny as the sand.

Icelin. Runs tawny as the sand.I do not lie.

Dansberg.Come, lead me home. These two hours I have walkt,

And all my blood is water. I am old—

So old and blind. I wonder, is the fire lit,

This autumn evening, and my supper ready?

Hough, hough. Where is my stick—my stick?

(She takes the stick from beside him.)
