Christ In The Museum Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCEFEFGGBRONZE bells and incense burners and a flight | A |
Of birds born out of iron and fine as spray | B |
A dial that told the longest summer day | B |
How sure how swift the night | A |
And o'er the silent treasury so high | C |
No lips may kiss no grieving hands have clung | D |
Numbered and ticketed the Christ is hung | D |
The many pass Him by | C |
None pause Here come no agonies no dreams | E |
Nothing is here to hurt Him nor to wake | F |
Year after year the golden iris gleams | E |
A little paler by her lacquered lake | F |
And the dust gathers on the hands the side | G |
The lonely head of Love the crucified | G |
