Marriage Bells Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFGFHH| Music and silver chimes and sunlit air | A |
| Freighted with the scent of honeyed orange flower | B |
| Glad friendly festal faces everywhere | A |
| She rapt from all in this unearthly hour | B |
| With cloudlike cast back veil and faint flushed cheek | C |
| In bridal beauty moves as in a trance | D |
| Alone with him and fears to breathe to speak | C |
| Lest the rare subtle spell dissolve perchance | D |
| But he upon that floral head looks down | E |
| Noting the misty eyes the grave sweet brow | F |
| Doubts if her bliss be perfect as his own | G |
| And dedicates anew with inward vow | F |
| His soul unto her service to repay | H |
| Richly the sacrifice she yields this day | H |
