Kudrun

It would rather seem that—as in the German Kudrun—two stories, originally distinct, have been brought together in one poem.

Here I have been forced to serve, to your sin and my shame, answers Kudrun—a great answer, in its truth and self-control.

In his absence on a foray Gerlint compels Kudrun to do unfitting tasks.

In Hartmuths castle by the sea Kudrun spends bitter years waiting for deliverance.

When they have gone, Kudrun throws the clothes to be washed into the sea.
