Versos English Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Margaret

English poem

Margaret

by (1749–1832)

Listen in the reader

Whoever could have brought me things so precious? That something’s wrong, I feel suspicious.

(A knock)

Good Heaven! My mother can that have been?

MARTHA (peeping through the blind)

’Tis some strange gentleman.—Come in!

(MEPHISTOPHELES enters.)
