English poem
Siebel
by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749–1832)
'Tis sorcery, I vow! Strike home! The fellow is fair game, I trow! (They draw their knives and attack MEPHISTOPHELES.)
MEPHISTOPHELES (with solemn gestures)
Visionary scenes appear! Words delusive cheat the ear! Be ye there, and be ye here! (They stand amazed and gaze at each other.)
