Five Kisses: 04 - Domestic Bliss Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGGSequestered 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 |
