Five Kisses: 02 - The Betrothal Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFEGGGDDThere was a little pause between the dances | A |
Without somewhere a tinkling fountain played | B |
The dusky path was lit by ardent glances | C |
As forth they fared a lover and a maid | B |
He chose a nook from curious eyes well hidden | D |
All redolent with sweet midsummer charm | E |
And by the great primeval instinct bidden | F |
He drew her in the shelter of his arm | E |
The words that long deep in his heart had trembled | G |
Found sudden utterance she at first dissembled | G |
Refused her lips and half withdrew her hand | G |
Then murmured Yes and yielded woman fashion | D |
Her virgin mouth to young love's kiss of passion | D |
