The Master Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABC DEFG HI JKLMNOPQ| Now when the darkness came over the earth Joseph of Arimathea | A |
| having lighted a torch of pinewood passed down from the hill into | B |
| the valley For he had business in his own home | C |
| - | |
| And kneeling on the flint stones of the Valley of Desolation he saw | D |
| a young man who was naked and weeping His hair was the colour of | E |
| honey and his body was as a white flower but he had wounded his | F |
| body with thorns and on his hair had he set ashes as a crown | G |
| - | |
| And he who had great possessions said to the young man who was | H |
| naked and weeping 'I do not wonder that your sorrow is so great | I |
| for surely He was a just man ' | - |
| - | |
| And the young man answered 'It is not for Him that I am weeping | J |
| but for myself I too have changed water into wine and I have | K |
| healed the leper and given sight to the blind I have walked upon | L |
| the waters and from the dwellers in the tombs I have cast out | M |
| devils I have fed the hungry in the desert where there was no | N |
| food and I have raised the dead from their narrow houses and at | O |
| my bidding and before a great multitude of people a barren fig | P |
| tree withered away All things that this man has done I have done | Q |
| also And yet they have not crucified me ' | - |
