The Happy Husband Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCADD EFGEHI JJJJKK LMMLAA| Oft oft methinks the while with thee | A |
| I breathe as from the heart thy dear | B |
| And dedicated bame I hear | C |
| A promise and a mystery | A |
| A pledge of more than passing life | D |
| Yea in that very name of wife | D |
| - | |
| A pulse of love that ne'er can sleep | E |
| A feeling that upbraids the heart | F |
| With happiness beyond desert | G |
| That gladness half requests to weep | E |
| Nor bless I not the keener sense | H |
| And unalarming turbulence | I |
| - | |
| Of transient joys that ask no sting | J |
| From jealous fears or coy denying | J |
| But born beneath Love's brooding wing | J |
| And into tenderness soon dying | J |
| Wheel out their giddy moment then | K |
| Resign the soul to love again | K |
| - | |
| A more precipitated vein | L |
| Of notes that eddy in the flow | M |
| Of smoothest song they come they go | M |
| And leave their sweeter understrain | L |
| Its own sweet self a love of thee | A |
| That seems yet cannot greater be | A |
