Dai Butsu Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACBBCCBHe sits Upon the kingly head doth rest | A |
The round balled wimple and the heavy rings | B |
Touch on the shoulders where the swallow clings | B |
The downward garment shows the ambiguous breast | A |
The Face that Face one scarce can look on lest | A |
One learn the secret of unspeakable things | B |
But the dread gaze descends with shudderings | B |
To the veiled couched knees the hands and thumbs close pressed | A |
O lidded downcast eyes that bear the weight | C |
Of all our woes and terrible wrongs increase | B |
Proud nostrils lips proud perfecter than these | B |
With what a soul within you do you wait | C |
Disdain and pity love late born of hate | C |
Passion eternal patience pride and peace | B |
