The Bride Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCDEEDFGHIJJ| 'Rise ' said the Master 'come unto the feast ' | A |
| She heard the call and rose with willing feet | B |
| But thinking it not otherwise than meet | B |
| For such a bidding to put on her best | C |
| She is gone from us for a few short hours | D |
| Into her bridal closet there to wait | E |
| For the unfolding of the palace gate | E |
| That gives her entrance to the blissful bowers | D |
| We have not seen her yet though we have been | F |
| Full often to her chamber door and oft | G |
| Have listen'd underneath the postern green | H |
| And laid fresh flowers and whisper'd short and soft | I |
| But she hath made no answer and the day | J |
| From the clear west is fading fast away | J |
