Bridal Birth Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCA DEFDEF| As when desire long darkling dawns and first | A |
| The mother looks upon the new born child | B |
| Even so my Lady stood at gaze and smiled | B |
| When her soul knew at length the Love it nursed | A |
| Born with her life creature of poignant thirst | A |
| And exquisite hunger at her heart Love lay | C |
| Quickening in darkness till a voice that day | C |
| Cried on him and the bonds of birth were burst | A |
| - | |
| Now shielded in his wings our faces yearn | D |
| Together as his fullgrown feet now range | E |
| The grove and his warm hands our couch prepare | F |
| Till to his song our bodiless souls in turn | D |
| Be born his children when Death's nuptial change | E |
| Leaves us for light the halo of his hair | F |
