Domestic Bliss Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGG| Sequestered in their calm domestic bower | A |
| They sat together He in manhood's prime | B |
| And she a matron in her fullest flower | A |
| The mantel clock gave forth a warning chime | B |
| She put her work aside his bright cigar | C |
| Grew pale and crumbled in an ashen heap | D |
| The lights went out save one remaining star | C |
| That watched beside the children in their sleep | D |
| She hummed a little song and nestled near | E |
| As side by side they went to their repose | F |
| His arm about her waist he whispered Dear | E |
| And pressed his lips upon her mouth's full rose | F |
| The sacred sweetness of their wedded life | G |
| Breathed in that kiss of husband and of wife | G |
