NANNA (she rushes distractedly in upon the stage). Ah!
No one answers me! Do thou give hearing
To Nanna's hard rock, which no god heedeth!
My anguish ease! Reply! Ah, where's my lov'd one?
BALDER (aside). My fate will have it so. Ha, Nanna.
NANNA. Show me,
Ye silent forests, shades once lov'd, now awful,
Oh, show me him--disclose me my dearest!
BALDER (aside). Ha! shall I? Dare I?
NANNA. Ah, where art thou, Hother?
Perhaps in an abyss, all crushed and bloody
And silent! Woe is me! for ever silent!
