On Seeing The Diabutsu--at Kamakura, Japan Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDECDE

Long have I searched Cathedral shrine and hallA
To find a symbol from the hand of artB
That gave the full expression not a partB
Of that ecstatic peace which follows allA
Life's pain and passion Strange it should befallA
This outer emblem of the inner heartB
Was waiting far beyond the great world's martB
Immortal answer to the mortal callA
-
-
Unknown the artist vaguely known his creedC
But the bronze wonder of his work sufficedD
To lift me to the heights his faith had trodE
For one rich moment opulent indeedC
I walked with Krishna Buddha and the ChristD
And felt the full serenity of GodE
