ear! ASE
- Oh, mercy, how hollow it's rumbling!
PEER
- We're just driving over a fiord.
ASE
- I'm afraid! What is that I hear rushing
- and sighing so strange and wild?
PEER
- It's the sough of the pine-trees, mother,
- on the heath. Do you but sit still.
ASE
- There's a sparkling and gleaming afar now;
- whence comes all that blaze of light?
PEER
- From the castle's windows and doorways.
- Don't you hear, they are dancing?
ASE
- Yes.
PEER
- Outside the door stands Saint Peter,
- and prays you to enter in.
ASE
- Does he greet us?
PEER
- He does, with honor,
- and pours out the sweetest wine.
ASE
- Wine! Has he cakes as well, Peer?
