WHEN Olympian Hera was given In marriage, the Fates on a day Led Zeus, in the height of his heaven, To her bed, singing loud all the way, -- With a Hymen O! Hymenaios, Hymen O Hymenaios! Love rode for good luck in the carriage, The child of a couple who throve; Happy bride! with a groom to her marriage Gold-winged, pulling back as he drove, -- With a Hymen O! Hymenaios, Hymen O Hymenaios! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A FOOL, A FOUL THING, A DISTRESSFUL LUNATIC by MARIANNE MOORE LINES INSCRIBED UPON A CUP FORMED FROM A SKULL by GEORGE GORDON BYRON THE CHILDREN'S HOUR by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW SIR GALAHAD by ALFRED TENNYSON A ROCKING HYMN by GEORGE WITHER CHARACTERS: MRS.
