looking valley aud emerge upon a
sunny open plateau beyond Eckle and
look down upon Wildsee. circled by the
dark pines Of an untouched forest that
stretches away to the blue and distant

self back in the heart Of the old Ger

when Hagen slew siegfried with a
towards blow. The morning sun glints
upon bright spear tops among the trees
and the wind brings snatches Of rough
war songs shouted by barbarian voices.

back through the dark middle ages to
that dim and mystic youthday Of the
