Epithalamium: A Marriage Poem Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBAACCADEEFD| 'Twas summer when softly the breezes were blowing | A |
| And Hudson majestic so sweetly was flowing | A |
| The groves rang with music accents of pleasure | B |
| And nature in rapture beat time to the measure | B |
| When Helen and Jonas so true and so loving | A |
| Along the green lawn were seen arm in arm moving | A |
| Sweet daffodils violets and roses spontaneous | C |
| Wherever they wandered sprang up instantaneous | C |
| The ascent the lovers at length were seen climbing | A |
| Whose summit is grac'd by the temple of Hymen | D |
| The genius presiding no sooner perceived them | E |
| But spreading his pinions he flew to receive them | E |
| With kindest of greetings pronounced them well come | F |
| While hollidays clangor rang loud to the welkin | D |
