by Rudolph Baumbach (1840 - 1905)

Dahinten die Erde, Walhalla vorn
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Dahinten die Erde, Walhalla vorn, 
Die Götterbrücke inmitten --
Lass schallen, Riger, dein goldnes Horn! 
Es kommt ein Held geritten. 

Es donnert die Brücke, es tönt das Thor, 
Es grüssen mich Asgards Söhne, 
Mit Bragi schreitet lächelnd hervor 
Idun, die ewigschöne. 

Sie bieten mir Äpfel, sie bieten mir Meth, 
Sie leiten meine Schritte 
Dahin, wo Wodens Hochsitz steht 
In seiner Helden Mitte. 

Es wird mir der Brünne schwere Last, 
Der Helm herunter genommen; 
Allvater winkt, den Erdengast 
Einherier heissen willkommen. 

Schildmaide reichen mir Salz und Brot 
Und schenken mir Saft der Reben. 
Willkommen herrlicher Schlachtentod! 
Fahrwohl du freudiges Leben!
