I listened, listened,[1338] all unseen,

Until I thought I should go wild.[1339]

Then, with a desperate hand, flung wide[1340]

The casement. With a bound, beside

The two[1341] I stood. She started—screamed;

He turned[1342] and saw me, and then seemed

A moment as if turned to stone;

And as his baseness I made known,

She—poor thing—with a long, low cry,

Sank[1343] to the floor despairingly.
