'✔️Summary: Bridal Ballad\' is one Edgar Allan Poe\'s early ballads first appearing in the Southern Literary Messenger in January 1837 as \'Ballad\'. Four years later, it was published as \'Bridal Ballad\' in the Saturday Evening Post. It\'s a rhyming poem of five stanzas, and in typical Poe fashion—with iambic and anapestic rhythm—relates the story of a bride who gets married but is uncertain of her happiness. How come? Well, it seems her real love was killed in battle, is able to communicate with her from beyond the grave, making her feel that he may not, after all, be happy. She will marry another man who offers her material wealth and a nice ring, but inside she\'s still a brokenhearted woman. Her true love lies cold in the grave, and in reality she\'s in a kind of limbo, unsure if true happiness is hers.  ✔️  About the author:   Edgar Allan Poe, born Edgar Poe ( January 19, 1809 – October 7, 1849) was an American writer, poet, editor, and literary critic. Poe is best known for his poetry and short stories, particularly his tales of mystery and the macabre. He is widely regarded as a central figure of Romanticism in the United States and of American literature as a whole, and he was one of the country\'s earliest practitioners of the short story.   ✔️\"Bridal Ballad\" by Edgar Allen Poe  The ring is on my hand, And the wreath is on my brow; Satin and jewels grand Are all at my command, And I am happy now.  And my lord he loves me well; But, when first he breathed his vow, I felt my bosom swell- For the words rang as a knell, And the voice seemed his who fell In the battle down the dell, And who is happy now.  But he spoke to re-assure me, And he kissed my pallid brow, While a reverie came o\'er me, And to the church-yard bore me, And I sighed to him before me, Thinking him dead D\'Elormie, \"Oh, I am happy now!\"  And thus the words were spoken, And this the plighted vow, And, though my faith be broken, And, though my heart be broken, Here is a ring, as token That I am happy now!  Would God I could awaken! For I dream I know not how! And my soul is sorely shaken Lest an evil step be taken,- Lest the dead who is forsaken May not be happy now.  ---------------------------------------------------------------'
