the bridge To the wood beyond, To the left, where the plank is, In the pond.
Seize it at once! It fain would rise, It struggles still! Save it. Oh save!
Faust
Dear Gretchen, more collected be! One little step, and thou art free!
Margaret
Were we but only past the hill! There sits my mother upon a stone My brain,
alas, is cold with dread! There sits my mother upon a stone, And to and fro
she shakes her head; She winks not, she nods not, her head it droops sore;
She slept so long, she waked no more; She slept, that we might taste of bliss:
Ah! those were happy times, I wis!
Faust
Since here avails nor argument nor prayer, Thee hence by force I needs must
bear.
Margaret
Loose me! I will not suffer violence! With murderous hand hold not so fast! I
have done all to please thee in the past!
Faust
Day dawns! My love! My love!
Margaret
Yes! day draws near. The day of judgment too will soon appear! It should
have been my bridal! No one tell, That thy poor Gretchen thou hast known
too well. Woe to my garland! Its bloom is o'er! Though not at the dance We
shall meet once more. The crowd doth gather, in silence it rolls; The squares,
the streets, Scarce hold the throng. The staff is broken, - the death - bell tolls,
They bind and seize me! I'm hurried along, To the seat of blood already I'm
bound! Quivers each neck as the naked steel Quivers on mine the blow to
deal The silence of the grave now broods around!
Faust
Would I had ne'er been born!
Mephistopheles (appears without)
Up! or you're lost. Vain hesitation! Babbling, quaking! My steeds are
shivering, Morn is breaking.
Margaret
What from the floor ascendeth like a ghost? 'Tis he! 'Tis he! Him from my
presence chase! What would he in this holy place? It is for me he cometh!
Faust
Thou shalt live!
Margaret
Judgment of God! To thee my soul I give!
Mephistopheles (to Faust)
Come, come! With her I'll else abandon thee!
Margaret
Father, I'm thine! Do thou deliver me! Ye angels! Ye angelic hosts! descend,
Encamp around to guard me and defend! Henry! I shudder now to look on
thee!
Mephistopheles
She now is judged!
Voices (from above)
Is saved!
Mephistopheles (to Faust)
Come thou with me!
(Vanishes with Faust.)
Voice (from within, dying away)
Henry! Henry!
The End
