<h2> I HAVE BEHELD </h2>
<p>I have beheld a multitude stand still<br/>
In such deep silence that a sudden pain<br/>
Struck through the heart in sharing the tense strain,<br/>
And all the world seemed bounded by one will.<br/>
<br/>
But when precipitated on the sea<br/>
Of human feeling was the incident<br/>
That caught their wonder; then the skies were rent<br/>
With quivering sound, with passion’s liberty.<br/>
<br/>
So have I stood before this parting day,<br/>
With chilly fingers pressed upon my breast,<br/>
That my heart burst not fleshen bands away,<br/>
<br/>
And my sharp cry break through my lady’s rest.<br/>
I have shut burning eyelids on the sight<br/>
Of this dread time that scorches my sad night.<br/></p>
