Excerpt from The Nibelung's Ring: English Words to Richard Wagner's Ring Des Nibelungen, in the Alliterative Verse of the Original ("Die Liebe lockte den Lenz.") Winter has waned upon his stormy wing - the woods are wild with flowers - before my eyes Spring on the world lies like a lover lies - the birds have bursts of song for everything - it seems as if the ceaseless blossoming, the splendour and the spell can never tire - for if night comes the moon is like a fire - and yet my sadness will not let me sing. Mine is the single sorrow - how shall I bring to my heart the heart I long to bring? - My heart so bleeds at my own bitter cry I taste its blood - as Siegfried, for the ring, did Fafner's, and a bird, as it goes by, laughs "Love's enough - 'twas Love that lured the Spring!"
