Faust (Chap. 8) - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
EVENING A SMALL, NEATLY KEPT CHAMBER

MARGARET
(plaiting and binding up the braids of her hair)

I'd something give, could I but say
Who was that gentleman, to-day.
Surely a gallant man was he,
And of a noble family;
And much could I in his face behold,—
And he wouldn't, else, have been so bold!

MEPHISTOPHELES FAUST

MEPHISTOPHELES
Come in, but gently: follow me!

FAUST (after a moment's silence)
Leave me alone, I beg of thee!

MEPHISTOPHELES (prying about)
Not every girl keeps things so neat.

FAUST (looking around)
O welcome, twilight soft and sweet,
That breathes throughout this hallowed shrine!
Sweet pain of love, bind thou with fetters fleet
The heart that on the dew of hope must pine!
How all around a sense impresses
Of quiet, order, and content!
This poverty what bounty blesses!
What bliss within this narrow den is pent!
