Grane, my steed, greetings! Do you too know, my friend, where I am leading you?
Radiant in the fire, there lies your lord, Siegfried, my blessed hero.
Are you neighing for joy to follow your friend? Do the laughing flames lure you to him?

Heiajoho! Grane! Greet your master! Siegfried! Siegfried! See!
Your wife joyfully greets you!

which has collapsed, the men and women, in the utmost apprehension,
watch the growing firelight in the sky. When this finally reaches its brightest
there becomes visible the palace of Valhalla,in which the gods and
heroes sit assembled, exactly as Waltraute described them in Act One.
Bright flames seem to set fire to the hall of the gods.
