Marie Bateson Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AAAAAABCDEAFG

You observe the carven handA
With the index finger pointing heavenwardA
That is the direction no doubtA
But how shall one follow itA
It is well to abstain from murder and lustA
To forgive do good to others worship GodA
Without graven imagesB
But these are external means after allC
By which you chiefly do good to yourselfD
The inner kernel is freedomE
It is light purityA
I can no moreF
Find the goal or lose it according to your visionG
