Then suddenly a power upon his heart,
A strange constraining impulse vehement,
Like the fierce flash of sun-fire on a day
Of fleeting showers and wild alternate lights—
Made him speak out abruptly: though before
He came, he had not dreamt to speak to her:
But when he looked into her eyes, and found
Her eyes so near him, vehement he spoke.
