In the hours of waiting, the soldiers ponder the beautiful fields they marched through to come to this place; they scarcely breathe, "like trees unstirred." The vocal line continues its half chant, half declamation, now over a new continuous sixteenth note motive split between the hands two octaves apart--the slow passage of time until "like a cold gust thrills the little word/ At which each body and its soul begird and tighten them for battle." There is no loud alarm or waving flag, "Only a lift and flare of eyes that faced the sun/ Like a friend with whom their love is done." The vocal line rises in intensity as the piano figuration expands into octaves.
