Having gazed as far as the eye could reach along her beloved's path until despondent, / when the roads were deserted at the close of day and darkness was creeping up, / the traveller's wife took one step toward the house in sorrow; / at that moment, thinking "May he not have arrived?", she turned her neck quickly and looked again. ||74||(76)
