The Bride. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCDEFDGHCIJJCKKC LJLJMMNOON| Her bridal dawn her heart was fed | A |
| Last night with eerie food | B |
| As one by one her lovers dead | A |
| Came in the solitude | B |
| And shared the last sad feast with her | C |
| In Beauty's grave as if it were | C |
| To morrow white and cold | D |
| The ghost of all that she had been | E |
| Would pass away for e'er as e'en | F |
| Their dreams had died of old | D |
| Each with his sigil of despair | G |
| Moved in the eerie room | H |
| For all were cognisant as e'er | C |
| All are beyond the tom | I |
| That one night more the virgin tie | J |
| Which had bound them would be put by | J |
| As she felt passion's stir | C |
| Throb in her maidenhood until | K |
| All that she was for good and ill | K |
| Became a dream to her | C |
| And so with mystic eyes and ears | L |
| They came to say good bye | J |
| Who had been her bright girlhood's peers | L |
| And knew e'en love must die | J |
| That it must be a shadow too | M |
| As life had long been in the blue | M |
| And golden light above | N |
| And as each pledged her in the dim | O |
| Remoteness there came over him | O |
| The last desire of love | N |
