He speaks, and at his voice's sound,Two bright and dazzling eyes
Flash with the sudden violence
Of madness and surprise.
A moment more she shrieks and falls.
That shriek, so wild and shrill,
Chills the warm current of his blood
And nullifies his will;
And coupled with it is his name!
Amazed, in that pale face
The victim of his heartless lust
His eyes too surely trace.
