Marie Bateson Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAAAABCDEAFGYou observe the carven hand | A |
With the index finger pointing heavenward | A |
That is the direction no doubt | A |
But how shall one follow it | A |
It is well to abstain from murder and lust | A |
To forgive do good to others worship God | A |
Without graven images | B |
But these are external means after all | C |
By which you chiefly do good to yourself | D |
The inner kernel is freedom | E |
It is light purity | A |
I can no more | F |
Find the goal or lose it according to your vision | G |
