Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCCCDCCDEFHopeless Despairless like that Indian wise | A |
Free of desire save no desire to know | B |
To gain that sweet Nirvana each one tries | A |
Thinks to assuage soul wearing passion so | B |
From the white rest the ante natal bliss | C |
Not loth the wondrous wondering soul awakes | C |
Now drawn to that illusion now to this | C |
With gathering strength each devious pathway takes | C |
Till at the noon of life his aims decline | D |
Evermore earthward bend the tiring eyes | C |
Evermore earthward till with no surprise | C |
They see Nirvana from Earth's bosom shine | D |
The still kind mother holds her child again | E |
In blank desirelessness without a stain | F |
