When forth she came to meet him, to her young Hartmut said:

“Gu-drun, most lovely maiden, what is the life you have led

Since I, with all my warriors, my lands and home was leaving?”

She said: “Such tasks they set me, ’twas sin for you, and shame to me ’twas giving.”

Gerlind, my dearest mother? Your love she should have known;

When with you I left her, her lot you should have brightened,

And all her heavy sorrows you should for her within my land have lightened.”
