Know Thee ThenWas a Dwarf) By Carl Burrian, Tenor (In German) 55073 12-inch, $1.50 Hagen gives him a magic drink, which brings back his memory, and he goes on to tell of theforest bird and his quest of the lovely Briinnhilde. Zu den Wipfeln lauscht ich (To the Branches Gazed I Aloft) By Carl Burrian, Tenor (In German) 55073 12-inch, $1.50 Gunther begins to listen attentively, but when Siegfried reaches this part of his narrative,Hagen plunges his spear in Siegfrieds back and he falls. Gunther, in pity for the dying man,leans over him and Seigfried faintly says : Siegfried: Briinnhilde! Heavenly bride!— Look up! Open thine eyelids! What hath sunk thee once more in sleep? Who drowns thee in slumber so drear? The wakner came, his kiss awoke;— Again now the brides bonds he has broken;- Enchant him Briinnhildes charms! Ah! now forever open her eyelids! Ah! and what odrous breeze is her breath! Thrice blessed ending— Thrill that dismays not— Briinnhilde beckons to me! (He dies.) 188
