IX.

That night she join'd the revel; but not long
Amenaïde was seen amid the throng.
No eye beheld her pace her lonely room:
Fearing the light, yet trembling in the gloom;
The ghastly cheek, as marble cold and white;
The wild eye flashing with unholy light;
42

The quivering lip, the forehead's dew-moist pore,
The sudden start, the rapid step once more,—
As if it would annihilate the time:—
But who may paint the solitude of crime?
