She offers the jewelry to the witch's daughter, in exchange for being allowed to sing outside the knight's room at night. But the witch gives her daughter a sleeping-drink to offer the knight, so the young woman cannot wake him, though she sobs and sings: "Seven long years I served for thee, The glassy hill I clamb for thee, Thy bloody clothes I wrang for thee; And wilt thou not waken and turn to me?" She is in the second great need of her life, so she tries the pear, and finds it full of jewelry richer than that of the apple, but the second night goes as before.
