Reading edition
da´hin laß mich mit dir, o mein Geliebter, ziehen! there, O, my true lov’d one, thou with me must go! (Thomas Carlyle).—These words of Mignon forming the refrain of each of the three strophes of Goethe’s ballad „Mignon“ (see page 28) are here skillfully and affectionately attributed to the young wife of the narrator.
