The frolic of the Rhine-Maidens

The Gnat and the Lion

Brunnhilde stands for a long time dazed and alarmed

The Monkey and the Dolphin

Appear, flickering fire, encircle the rock with thy flame!

The Rhine-Maidens teasing Alberich

Hansel picked up the glittering white pebbles and filled his pockets with them

The Lion, Jupiter, and the Elephant

The sleep of Brunnhilde

The Wolf and the Crane

As he moves slowly away, Wotan turns and looks sorrowfully back at Brunnhilde

Ali at once the door opened and an old, old Woman, supporting herself on a crutch, came hobbling out

Fasolt suddenly seizes Freia and drags her to one side with Fafner

Many’s the beating he had from the broomstick or the ladle

‘Well!’ she chuckled, ‘I am in luck!’

The ride of the Valkyries

Round the fire an indescribably ridiculous little man was leaping

Brunnhilde slowly and silently leads her horse down the path to the cave

‘The Rhine’s fair children, bewailing their lost gold, weep’

‘To my hammer’s swing Hitherward sweep Vapours and fogs!’

‘Mock away! Mock! The Niblung makes for your toy!

The Maiden fetched the magic wand

The Cat and the Birds

The Crab and his Mother

A Squirrel and a Crow
