Transcriber's Notes:
Click on the [Listen] link to hear a midi file of the music. Lyrics appearing in the music image are set out
below the image.
Obvious typographical and musical errors have been corrected.
The cover image was scanned from the 1914 edition published by Doubleday, Page & Company.
The original frontispiece is a poor-quality reproduction of a detail from Arthur Rackham's 1910 painting
of Brünnhilde. A better-quality reproduction has been used in in its place.
