And when he marked me downcast utterly
Where foul I sat and faint,

I closed my eyes, yet I knew when their lashes
Fringed their cheeks from downcast eyes,
And when they turned their heads;

Have you seen walking through the village
A man with downcast eyes and haggard face?
That is my husband who, by secret cruelty

With not a friend to close his eyes.
- With downcast looks the joyless victor sate,
Revolving in his altered soul
