POEMS OF GOETHE

V.

MARGAEET AT HER SPINNING-WHEEL.

My heart is sad,
My peace is o'er;
I find it never
And nevermore.

When gone is he,
The grave I see;
The world's wide all
Is turned to gall.

Alas, my head
Is well-nigh crazed;
My feeble mind
Is sore amazed.

My heart is sad,
My peace is o'er;
I find it never
And nevermore.

For him from the window
Alone I spy;
For him alone
From home go I.

His lofty step,
His noble form,
His mouth's sweet smile,

His glances warm,
