What's the meaning of "I shan't be gone long. -- You come too"?
I'm going out to clean the pasture spring;
I'll only stop to rake the leaves away
(And wait to watch the water clear, I may):
I shan't be gone long. -- You come too.

I'm going out to fetch the little calf
That's standing by the mother. It's so young,
It totters when she licks it with her tongue.
I shan't be gone long. -- You come too.

This is from a poem "the Pasture". Could you teach me the meaning of "I shan't be gone long. -- You come too"?

Answer

In addition to the above answer, instead of I shan't (if you ddi use this phrase you might sound like a housewife from a Victorian novel or someone trying to 'sound' posh but isn't), most people would use the phase: 'I won't be long' or 'I'll see you in a bit'.
In London slang we say: In a bit - as in I will see you guys in a bit - The length of time could be 5 minutes or a few days.

Answer

i shan't was a contraction used in English which means "I shall not" it is rarely used these days.

You come too? Is simply an invitation to go also
