SHE tied her wedding bonnet on -- The rosy bow beneath her chin, And all the little birds outside Burst into chorus for the bride -- Ah, how she thrilled to hear within! She tied her wedding bonnet on -- Her mirror was one flattery; The roses at the bonnet's brim Seemed all her passing thoughts of him Transformed to pink reality. She tied her wedding bonnet on With soft and tender fingering, And thought whose strong brown hands would so Bend to untie the dainty bow, Then blushed as if she felt the ring. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE MAN HE KILLED by THOMAS HARDY ABOU BEN ADHEM by JAMES HENRY LEIGH HUNT THE SWAMP FOX by WILLIAM GILMORE SIMMS THE TRANSFORMATION OF A TEXAS GIRL by JAMES BARTON ADAMS ODES: BOOK 1: ODE 11.
