5. Zwei Könige   [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Zwei Könige sassen auf Orkadal,
Hell flammten die Kerzen im Pfeilersaal.
Die Harfner sangen, es perlte der Wein,
Die Könige schauten finster drein.
Da sprach der eine: "Gib mir die Dirn'!
Ihr Aug' ist blau, schneeweiss ihre Stirn."
Der Andre versetzte in grimmem Zorn:
"Mein ist sie und bleibt sie, ich hab's geschwor'n!"
Kein Wort mehr sprachen die Könige drauf,
Sie nahmen die Schwerter und stunden auf,
Sie schritten hervor aus der leuchtenden Hall';
Tief lag der Schnee an des Schlosses Wall.
Es sprühten die Fackeln, es blitzte der Stahl --
Zwei Könige sanken auf Orkadal.
