She hath spread out her arms as she spake it, and away from the earth
      she leapt,
    And cut off her tide of returning; for the sea-waves over her swept,
    And their will is her will henceforward; and who knoweth the deeps of
      the sea,
    And the wealth of the bed of Gudrun, and the days that yet shall be?

    Ye have heard of Sigurd aforetime, how the foes of God he slew;
    How forth from the darksome desert the Gold of the Waters he drew;
    How he wakened Love on the Mountain, and wakened Brynhild the Bright,
    And dwelt upon Earth for a season, and shone in all men’s sight. 
    Ye have heard of the Cloudy People, and the dimming of the day,
    And the latter world’s confusion, and Sigurd gone away;
    Now ye know of the Need of the Niblungs and the end of broken troth,
    All the death of kings and of kindreds and the sorrow of Odin the Goth.

THE END.
