Fair past all heart’s desiring was the Star of Burgundy—
The tale of the queenly spirit, of the heart of tameless pride;
And the souls of princely champions were set on fire of the word,
That from lands afar to the guest-hall of Gunther the King they spurred.
But for all the love of the wooers, and their burning words thereof,
When borne down love’s dream-river was the heart of Siegelind’s son,
As an idle wind was the wooing of all save him alone.
Now soon to the fair shall the fearless by the hand of love be led.
Then his friends took thought for Siegfried, and the wise in council met,
When they knew the heart of the hero on the love of woman set.
{p. 8}
“Seek her for thy bride,” they counselled, “whose birth shall shame not thee.”
Answered the prince: “None other than Kriemhild this shall be!
Lo, she is a great king’s daughter, and the Star of Burgundia she is,
And she is the Queen of Beauty, and my heart knoweth certainly this—
Kriemhild, the glory of women, for him were a crown of pride.”
Then was told the tale of his purpose unto Siegmund the ancient King,
Yea also the selfsame rumour did the lady Siegelind hear;
And her heart was exceeding heavy with a burden of sorrow and fear;
For she wotted how grim was Gunther and the earls of his war-array:
Then answered the aweless Siegfried: “Heart’s dearest, father mine,
Never to love of woman shall the soul of me incline,
Except I may woo untrammelled where love leads forth mine heart!”
And never, for all their pleading, would he from the word depart.
And with heart and hand will I aid thee to the uttermost of my might.
Yea, had he none other than Hagen the stalwart to stand at his side,
That champion is so uplifted with overweening pride,
“If they mock at the speech of friendship, if I be with scorn denied,
Then will I do my wooing with the strength of mine own right hand;
Then answered and spake King Siegmund: “Woe’s me for this word of thine!
{p. 9}
Never couldst thou thereafter to the land of Gunther ride;—
Long time have I known them, Gunther and Gernot, the children of pride.
By violence may no man win her, that the maiden should stoop to his love,”
Spake Siegmund the King, “assurance most utter have I thereof.
Lo, all our battle-helpers shall with thee into Rhineland speed.”
Arrayed in the ranks of battle; for my sorrow should it be
I will woo her alone, unholpen of aught but mine own right hand:
With none save with twelve companions will I unto Gunther’s land.
Thus far and no further, my father, mine emprise shall ye aid,
Unto Siegelind his mother were the tidings borne anon,
And the queen brake forth into weeping for her well-beloved son:
“If he meet the hosts of Gunther, he is lost unto me!” she said.
Then wept that daughter of princes as women weep for the dead.
Though a host should arise against me, mine heart should in no wise quake.
Nay, help me thou on my journey when to Burgundy I fare,
And for me and my war-fellows fashion such goodly raiment to wear
And so shall mine heart go singing its thanks unto thee alway.”
“If in sooth thou abidest unshaken,” the lady Siegelind said,
“Then, O my child, my beloved, of me shall thy journey be sped;
Shall ye have, even thou and thy war-thanes, an exceeding plenteous store.”
{p. 10}
But only twelve of my champions: make ready their raiment thou;—
Was none that for rest or for pastime would lay her labour aside
Till the fingers of love had fashioned all Siegfried’s goodly gear:
For his heart was set on the journey, none other rede would he hear.
Wherein he should go forth riding from Siegmund’s land away;
And the warriors’ glittering hauberks withal were ready dight,
And their strong-knit helms and their war-shields broad and gleaming bright.
Lest never the cherished faces should be seen in the land again.
Goodly to see were the horses in their trappings of ruddy gold.
But he spake to them words of comfort, and cried with loving cheer:
Yet the earls were heavy-hearted, the maidens’ tears ran free;
Yea, the fear on their souls lay darkly that yet in the days to be
For the dear ones unreturning they should sorrow with hearts bowed low:—
Ah me, for their lamentation55 at the last was there cause enow!
So it fell on the seventh morning that to Worms by the Rhine-river shore
Those fearless knights came riding. What raiment soever they wore
Was all with the red gold broidered, and the harness glinted and shone
As their steeds went softly pacing as they followed Siegfried on.
{p. 11}
And their helms were a flashing splendour, as rode that gallant train
After the aweless Siegfried through the heart of Burgundia-land;
Never therein did heroes so goodly-apparelled stand.
Low as the spurs all-golden their mighty sword-points hung;
Sharp battle-spears those champions in their strong hands lightly swung.
Of two full spans was the blue blade of the lance that Siegfried bare;
Keen were the long cold edges, and the lightning of death slept there.
And the steeds’ breast-bands were silken: so rode they through the land;
And with parted lips of wonder around them all folk pressed.
Then Gunther’s palace-marshals sped forth to meet the guest.
They ran, the earls high-hearted; they hasted, henchman and knight,
Toward these of the lordly presence, even as was meet and right;
And they gave those guests fair greeting unto their liege-lord’s land;
And they made as to lead the horses to the crib and the stall for their rest:
Then stayed them the voice of Siegfried, that dauntless warrior-guest:
“Let be the steeds; for a season still harnessed shall they stand,
For yet am I girt for the journey, and I ride full soon from your land.
Now if any man certainly knoweth, let him nowise hide the thing,
For this would I have one tell me, where may I light on your King,
Even Gunther the treasure-wealthy, Burgundia’s mighty lord.”
Then one that thereof well wotted spake out the answering word:
“If ye fain would behold that war-king, the wish may be lightly won.
In the wide fair hall of his palace I marked him a little agone
There many a noble warrior beside him shall ye see.”
But by this within his palace had the tale to the King been told
All-armed in sunbright hauberks and in royal-rich array,
Whose names and whose kindred no man in Burgundy might say.
{p. 12}
These lordly knights from whose raiment so shone the splendour-flame,
These wielders of goodly bucklers, broad shields and stainless-fair:
Yea, it misliked him that no man could say what folk they were.
Then to the King made answer Ortwein, Metz’s lord—
“Forasmuch as in no wise we know them, bid one bring hither to thee
Mine uncle, even Hagen: let him look on their company.
Known unto him are kingdoms and strange lands far and wide.
Full soon was his lordly presence beheld in Gunther’s hall.
“For what cause,” then spake Hagen, “am I hitherward called of the King?”
“Lo, yonder unknown heroes to mine halls come journeying;
And no man knoweth to name them. Hast thou haply far away
In a strange land looked on their faces? I pray thee, Hagen, say.”
With the warrior’s joy their war-gear and their goodly array he scanned;
Howbeit their faces he knew not: they were strangers in the land.
And he spake: “Whencesoever the warriors to Rhineflood hitherward fare,
Princes are they of a surety, or a message of princes they bear,
So goodly are their war-steeds, so royal is their array.
Sooth, whencesoe’er they have ridden, great-hearted heroes be they.”
Then a little pondered Hagen, and he spake: “It is sooth to say,
Upon Siegfried’s bodily presence have I looked not unto this day:
Yet indeed and in truth meseemeth, howsoever the thing may be,
That the knight who yonder beareth so princely a port, is he.
Great tales shall be told, if it be so, of his coming to this our land.
{p. 13}
For it chanced, when the hero was riding alone with no helpers near,
Enringing the Hoard of King Niblung a throng of fierce-eyed men:
He had seen not those strange faces till he lighted on them then.
There lay King Niblung’s Gold-hoard, haled forth from the dark abyss
Of the rifted heart of the mountain—a strange, wild tale is this
So came Knight Siegfried upon them, and he marvelled at that strange thing.
So nigh he drew unhindered that he saw each battle-lord,
And on him looked they: to his fellow a prince spake straightway the word:
That himself would consent between them that mighty treasure to share;
And they hung so sore upon him that he yielded at last to their prayer.
Such wealth of precious gemstones he beheld, as telleth the tale,
That fivescore wains had sufficed not that treasure thence to hale:
There were heaps yet huger of red gold, the wealth of the Niblung land:
And all that hoard must be portioned by the aweless Siegfried’s hand.
But, ere all was done, for their guerdon they won them an evil reward;
For his sharing might nowise content them, and they turned their fury on him.
(C) So there in the midst that treasure yet all unportioned lay;
And fell on the hero the war-thanes of either king’s array.
Seven hundred knights of the Niblung land he laid in the dust
{p. 14}
With the Sword, the good sword Balmung of the world-renownèd name.
And the heart of many a champion for terror as water became,
Yea, those two kings in the battle he met, and he smote them dead;
Yet himself through the might of Albrich the Dwarf was sorely bestead;
Till quelled by the might of Siegfried his purpose he needs must refrain.
That demon-dwarf all vainly strove with the hero’s might:
Like the grapple of raging lions round the mountain stormed their fight,
And Siegfried the Terrible master was left of the Niblung Hoard,
For all which had dared to withstand him on that stricken field lay slain.
Then bade he bear that treasure to the mountain-fastness again
Whence the Niblung vassals had haled it forth as the dead kings bade;
And the warder of the treasure strong Alberich he made.
And ever in loyal service his uttermost bidding to do.”
So ended Hagen of Troneg—“All this hath the hero done:
Through the world in battle-prowess peer unto him is there none.
Men tell of another emprise—as I heard it, I tell it to you—
Then he bathed in the blood of the monster, and his skin became as horn,
That no weapon may wound him: witness thereof full many have borne.
Now wisely and well do I rede you—receive him in courteous wise,
And the King of the land made answer: “Thy counsel is meet and right.
Mark ye how proudly he standeth, as defying peril of fight!
Dauntless they be, yon warrior and the vassals that follow him.
We will fare down unto the gateway, and greet yon champion grim.”
{p. 15}
“Yea, greet him with worship and honour,” spake Hagen answering;
“For he cometh of noble lineage, and is son of a mighty king;
And his port, meseemeth, is princely—yea, by Christ the Lord!
Great tales shall be told of the issues of his riding hitherward.”
Then the lord of the land made answer: “Right welcome to us be he!
Yea, Burgundy-land shall hold him for a guest of passing worth.”
Unto where Prince Siegfried tarried then Gunther the King passed forth.
And the lord of the land and his earlfolk bade the hero welcome there
With greeting exceeding gracious, with courtesy passing fair;
And before them the Knight all-peerless bowed him in courtly wise
In thanks for their lovingkindness, and the worship in their eyes.
Spake Gunther the king: “I marvel, and fain would be certified,
Whence, O most noble Siegfried, unto this our land ye ride,
And what thing come ye seeking at Worms by the waters of Rhine.”
And the guest to the King made answer: “I hide no purpose of mine.
Afar in the land of my fathers the tidings have I heard
How that here, O King, in thy palace—and fain would I prove the word—
Be the knights in the world most valiant—yea, oft have I hearkened their fame—
And the best that king gat ever: and for this cause hither I came.
‘Never was king so valiant unto this day seen,’ they cry.
Through all my land thy glory is blown upon rumour’s wind.
No rest may my spirit give me till the truth hereof I find.
Lo, I withal am a warrior; a crown must I wear one day;
And fain am I that all men of me in that hour should say
That I take the folk and the kingdom of right for mine heritage.
Thou then, if thou be so valiant as is sung by the lips of fame—
I challenge thee here, do battle for all thou accountest thine!
Thy land and thy castles, I claim them for spoil of this sword of mine!”
{p. 16}
Then the King was exceeding astonied, amazed did the earl-folk stand,
As they hearkened to that strange challenge, to the champion’s haughty demand,
As he claimed for his victory-guerdon the people and land of their lord;
“Nay, how should it be for mine honour,” answered the King thereto,
“If I staked the realm that my father ruled nobly his whole life through
On a combat’s issue, to lose it or hold it by bodily might?
Sooth, this were a sorry maintaining of the name and the fame of a knight!”
Now from thy grasp will I wrest it; and mine heritage withal,
If thou win it by battle-prowess, shall be held of thee in thrall.
Let thou and I stake straightway our land and throne and crown;
And whichsoever in combat shall strike the other down,
Unto him shall all be subject, the lands of twain and the folk.”
“Of a surety not so are we minded,” spake Gernot proudly and high,
“That for winning of new possessions should any good knights die
In the strife of warring heroes: lo, fair our heritage is,
And of right is it ours; and no man hath claim more righteous to this.”
In burning indignation there stood they, the friends of the King;
And the Lord of Metz, Knight Ortwein, stepped forth from the warrior-ring,
Lo, a causeless challenge Siegfried the strong at you all hath flung!
Though he brought a kingdom’s army against thee, my King, arrayed,
I would still his malapert vaunting, I would bring his high heart low!”
“Not against me may be measured the might of thy low-born hand!
Yet twelve such as thou should vainly withstand me in battle, I trow!”
{p. 17}
Then the Lord of Metz, Knight Ortwein, cried hotly, “Bring me a sword!”—
True son was he of the sister of Hagen Troneg’s lord!—
Then for peace yet again spake Gernot, bold-hearted and ready of hand:
“Not yet hath the noble Siegfried done us any despiteful deed.
For kindness and reconciling still all my counsel is,
And for winning of his friendship: yea, more for our honour were this.”
At the last spake Hagen the stalwart: “There were reason enow for our wrath
And the good knights’ indignation, if he rode on the Rhineward path
Never so evil-entreated had he been of our lord the King.”
Then Siegfried the mighty hero flashed out all scornfully:
“If that I have said, Lord Hagen, in aught misliketh thee,
I will let it be seen of all men how ready is this mine hand
To maintain my words to the utmost in the face of Burgundia-land.”
“Nay, this thing, I trust, shall I hinder,” spake Gernot yet again;
And he gave command to be silent unto all his mighty men,
“For what cause should we battle against thee?” yet again did Gernot cry:
“Yea, though a host of the good knights in the grapple of fight should die,
Small honour were ours, small profit were thine, of such strife unmeet!”
Yet again did the son of Siegmund, Siegfried, his challenge repeat:
“Why linger they, Hagen and Ortwein?—why hang they yet aback,
They and their friends, their champions, from the storm of the battle-wrack?
And of all Burgundia’s chosen is none to the combat stirred?”
“Our guest shalt thou be full welcome,” the young lad Giselher cried,
“Thou and thy valiant champions which wait hereby at thy side.
{p. 18}
Then they cried to the cupbearers, “Pour ye for the guests of King Gunther the wine!”
Spake the lord of the land yet further, “Lo, all that was ours hitherto,
Is yours, so in honour ye ask it; we will hold back nought from you.
Yea, ye shall with us be partners in our goods and our very blood!”
Then soft grew the eyes of Siegfried, and melted his angry mood.
Then they took from the warriors their war-gear, and heedfully laid it by;
Yea, even Siegfried’s henchmen were housed in noble wise.
And in Burgundy nought met Siegfried thereafter save welcoming eyes.
All rendered to him high worship and honour day by day,
Yea, a thousandfold more richly than minstrel’s tongue may say.
All this was his valour’s guerdon—no marvel that so it should be,
Whensoever the kings and their vassals in knightly pastime strove,
Evermore was Siegfried the foremost, howsoever his strength they might prove.
There was none that with Siegfried could match him, so passing great was his might,
In presence of high-born ladies full oft was their prowess tried,
And proved was the strength of the valiant before the lovely-eyed;
And the Netherland’s knight found favour still with the passing-fair:
But his love was set on the highest, his heart was otherwhere.
(C) Yea, lovely palace-ladies, as the knights rode flashing by,
Would ask of the warrior-stranger of bearing proud and high—
“How stately is his stature, how rich his arraying!” they cried.
“’Tis the hero of the Low Land!” full many a voice replied.
What deeds they essayed soever, still foremost Siegfried pressed:
But ever a lovely vision, a dream-face, haunted his breast;
And she—her heart had received him, her lips low murmured his praise.
{p. 19}
What time in the lists of the palace the good knights ran the course,
Unseen from the casement gazing was the daughter of kings, Kriemhild:
Had he known, had he known that she watched him, whom shrined in his heart he bore,
Content in those lists enchanted had he ridden evermore;
But ah, had his eyes but beheld her!—I know of a surety this,
Whensoe’er in the castle-courtyard he chanced mid the knights to stand,
Ah, the heart of many a maiden unwares was love-beguiled.
But he, he was thinking, thinking, “Shall the day-dawn ever arise
In mine heart?—shall the Queen of women be ever beheld of mine eyes,
The love of my soul, my darling, my dream of long agone?
Whensoe’er those mighty war-kings rode through Burgundia-land,
Still did their knights attend them arrayed on either hand;
Rode Siegfried with these: at his going that lovely lady sighed;
And his heart the while was aching for her through a weary tide.
In the land of Gunther the royal through all the space of a year;
Yet in all that season his heart’s love not once did he behold,
Of whom he should yet have gladness and sorrow manifold.
