Oye who treated the Narrow Way	A
By Tophet flare to Judgment Day	A
Be gentle when quot the heathen quot pray	A
To Buddha at Kamakura	A
	-
To him the Way the Law apart	B
Whom Maya held beneath her heart	B
Ananda's Lord the Bodhisat	B
The Buddha of Kamakura	A
	-
For though he neither burns nor sees	C
Nor hears ye thank your Deities	C
Ye have not sinned with such as these	C
His children at Kamakura	A
	-
Yet spare us still the Western joke	D
When joss sticks turn to scented smoke	D
The little sins of little folk	D
That worship at Kamakura	A
	-
The grey robed gay sashed butterflies	E
That flit beneath the Master's eyes	E
He is beyond the Mysteries	C
But loves them at Kamakura	A
	-
And whoso will from Pride released	B
Contemning neither creed nor priest	B
May feel the Soul of all the East	B
About him at Kamakura	A
	-
Yea every tale Ananda heard	B
Of birth as fish or beast or bird	B
While yet in lives the Master stirred	B
The warm wind brings Kamakura	A
	-
Till drowsy eyelids seem to see	F
A flower 'neath her golden htee	B
The Shwe Dagon flare easterly	F
From Burmah to Kamakura	A
	-
And down the loaded air there comes	G
The thunder of Thibetan drums	G
And droned quot Om mane padme hums quot	B
A world's width from Kamakura	A
	-
Yet Brahmans rule Benares still	H
Buddh Gaya's ruins pit the hill	H
And beef fed zealots threaten ill	H
To Buddha and Kamakura	A
	-
A tourist show a legend told	B
A rusting bulk of bronze and gold	B
So much and scarce so much ye hold	B
The meaning of Kamakura	A
	-
But when the morning prayer is prayed	B
Think ere ye pass to strife and trade	B
Is God in human image made	B
No nearer than Kamakura	A
