Darius, and then Daniel,

Dazed, regarded Glendy once again.

The moonlit one was gone, and only these

Had seen him—these and Dora, and dumb Bruce.

And all of the nine strangers. For they too

Had listened; bending their bodies, they had weighed,

Had witnessed every word as it arrived;

Had watched the boy’s confusion; then the girl’s;

Then both together, as if woe had wed

Already the poor lovers.
