Sapphic stanzas are known for their pauses in unlikely places. how would you describe the effect of the semicolon pause in the third stanza, second line, of "long ago"?

The  statement that  best describes the effect of the semicolon pause in the third stanza,  second line, of "long ago" is that the pauses often to emphasize something in a poem. it forces the reader to reflect on what they just read rather than bouncing right to another part of the poem. in this case, i believe it reflects the deep melancholy and feelings of loss that the speaker is experiencing in this poem.
