You breezes, that my lamentation often filled so sadly, I must gratefully tell you of the dawn of my happiness!
Ortrud
It is she!

Elsa!
Elsa
By you he was wafted here, you smiled upon his journey: you faithfully kept him safe upon the stormy waves.
Ortrud
She shall rue the hour in which she now meets my eye.
Elsa
I often besought you to dry my tears; now come and cool my cheeks, that burn with love!
Ortrud
Keep back! Withdraw a while from here!
Frederick
Why?
Ortrud
Leave her to me - her hero shall be your concern!
Elsa
Now come and cool my cheeks, that burn with love!
