The Bridal Kiss Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDECDE| As fleecy clouds trail back across the skies | A |
| Showing the sweet young moon in azure space | B |
| The lifted veil revealed her shining face | B |
| A sudden wonder to his eager eyes | A |
| In that familiar beauty lurked surprise | A |
| For now the wife stood in the maiden's place | B |
| With conscious dignity and woman's grace | B |
| And love's large pride grown trebly fair and wise | A |
| - | |
| The world receded leaving them alone | C |
| The universe was theirs from sphere to sphere | D |
| And life assumed new meaning and new worth | E |
| Love held no privilege they did not own | C |
| And when they kissed each other without fear | D |
| They understood why God had made the earth | E |
