Listen! They cry—

“The wolf awakeneth!” What wolf? And why

That clang of steel?

BALDUR

His chain.

FREYJA

[In dreadful wonder.]

But he?

BALDUR

A beast

Untamed and tameless.—Ask not with thine eyes!—

Fenris, my brother.

FREYJA

[Springs joyfully toward the crater.]

Ah!

BALDUR

[Stays her.]

Where art thou going?

FREYJA

To greet my lover’s kindred. Were it not well?
