The Buddhist Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAABCDCD EFEEFGDGD AHAAHADAD I| There never was a face as fair as yours | A |
| A heart as true a love as pure and keen | B |
| These things endure if anything endures | A |
| But in this jungle what high heaven immures | A |
| Us in its silence the supreme serene | B |
| Crowning the dagoba what destined die | C |
| Rings on the table what resistless dart | D |
| Strike me I love you can you satisfy | C |
| The hunger of my heart | D |
| - | |
| Nay not in love or faith or hope is hidden | E |
| The drug that heals my life I know too well | F |
| How all things lawful and all things forbidden | E |
| Alike disclose no pearl upon the midden | E |
| Offer no key to unlock the gate of Hell | F |
| There is no escape from the eternal round | G |
| No hope in love or victory or art | D |
| There is no plumb line long enough to sound | G |
| The abysses of my heart | D |
| - | |
| - | |
| There no dawn breaks no sunlight penetrates | A |
| Its blackness no moon shines nor any star | H |
| For its own horror of itself creates | A |
| Malignant fate from all benignant fates | A |
| Of its own spite drives its own angel afar | H |
| Nay this is the great import of the curse | A |
| That the whole world is sick and not a part | D |
| Conterminous with its own universe | A |
| the horror of my heart | D |
