After her time of mourning she grew bold,

And said, “Once let me look upon his face!

The Queen will take no harm if I behold

What all the world can see.” She left her place,

And with a kinsman, at a palace rout,

Followed the long line passing in and out

Before the dais. The Prince’s eyes and hers

Met like the clouds that lighten. In a breath

Swift memory flamed between them, as, when stirs

No wind, and the dark sky is still as death,
