MARTHA'S GARDEN 187<br />
FAUST. What do you mean?<br />
MARGARET. The man whom thou hast ever at thy<br />
si<strong>de</strong>,<br />
1 hate him from the bottom of my soul.<br />
In my whole life, has nothing given my heart<br />
So <strong>de</strong>ep a wound, as that man's alien visage.<br />
FAUST. Beloved, fear him not.<br />
MARGARET. The very sight of him makes my blood<br />
thrill !<br />
To most men I feel kindliness-but him<br />
Do I <strong>de</strong>test; and with a feeling strong,<br />
STtrong as my love for you-strong as my wishes<br />
o have you with me-does a secret shud<strong>de</strong>r<br />
Cree'p over me when I behold thiq man.<br />
R e Is-1 cannot be <strong>de</strong>ceived-he is<br />
A Villain ;-God forgive me, if I wrong him !<br />
FAUST. He's a queer fellow-do not mind his oddities.<br />
MARGARET.<br />
I would not-could not, live together<br />
with him.<br />
If for a moment he comes to the door,<br />
Re will look in with such an air of mockery,<br />
~d a half scowl, and a face dark with anger<br />
ept down-you see he has no interest<br />
~ anything-' tis written on his brow<br />
A: feels no love for any living soul<br />
~ud When I am so happy in thy arms,<br />
~ the sweet confi<strong>de</strong>nce of love forgettingorgetting<br />
everything but thee, then-then<br />
Re's sure to come, and my heart shrinks and withers!<br />
FAUST. Foreboding angel, these are weak misgivings!<br />
lIARGARET.<br />
The feeling overmasters me so wholly<br />
!~at if he does but join us, straightway seems it<br />
~ if I ceased to love thee-where he is<br />
~ could not pray. This eats into my heart.<br />
enry, it cannot be but that you feel<br />
1 n this as I do.<br />
FAUST.<br />
This is antipathy.<br />
MARGARET. I must away.<br />
