Siegfried

"Siegfried, hear us!

Give us back the ring!"

The lady with the shell,

The water-lady with the green hair,

Calling, cried "Siegfried!"

But he laughed to hear her,

Laughed in the sun

And went into the woods laughing:

He was happy in his heart,

And he had golden hair

Till the sun loved him.

"Siegfried!"

I will call him!

"Siegfried!"

But he will not hear me.

He could talk to birds and rivers,

And he is gone.
