One More Contradiction Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIDJFKL| Did I fulfill what I had to here on earth | A |
| I was a guest in a house under white clouds | B |
| Where rivers flow and grasses renew themselves | C |
| So what if I were called if I was hardly aware | D |
| The next time early I would search for wisdom | E |
| I would not pretend I could be just like the others | F |
| Only evil and suffering come from that | G |
| Renouncing I would choose the fate of obedience | H |
| I would suppress my wolf's eye and greedy throat | I |
| A resident of some cloister floating in the air | D |
| With a view on the cities glowing below | J |
| Or onto a stream a bridge and old cedars | F |
| I would give myself to one task only | K |
| Which then however could not be accomplished | L |
