Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Wedding Bells: With Other Poems
Its festival, and joy, and harmony; Its lively dance, and jests, and bright array; Its gay attendance in the livery Of love; relations, friends, and comrades pressing Around with gratulation, gift, and blessing.
IV. How doth she trace the nuptial train and bride Returning from the church o'er scattered roses! As, with a blushing face that turns aside To look on friends, she bashfully composes Her downcast eye, and checks her maiden pride. Whilst he, as the sweet ceremony closes, Steals from her lip the first consenting kiss, That seals her only, and for ever, his.
