On Seeing The Diabutsu'at Kamakura, Japan Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDECDELong have I searched cathedral shrine and hall | A |
To find a symbol from the hand of art | B |
That gave the full expression not a part | B |
Of that ecstatic peace which follows all | A |
Life's pain and passion Strange it should befall | A |
This outer emblem of the inner heart | B |
Was waiting far beyond the great world's mart | B |
Immortal answer to the mortal call | A |
- | |
Unknown the artist vaguely known his creed | C |
But the bronze wonder of his work sufficed | D |
To lift me to the heights his faith had trod | E |
For one rich moment opulent indeed | C |
I walked with Krishna Buddha and the Christ | D |
And felt the full serenity of God | E |
