I Saw a Chapel All of Gold
I saw a Chapel all of gold
That none did dare to enter in,
And many weeping stood without,
Weeping mourning, worshipping.
I saw a Serpent rise between
The white pillars of the door,
And he forc'd and forc'd and forc'd;
Down the golden hinges tore,
And along the pavement sweet,
Set with pearls and rubies bright,
All his shining length he drew,
Till upon the altar white
Vomiting his poison out
On the Bread and on the Wine.
So I turned into a sty,
And laid me down among the swine.
That none did dare to enter in,
And many weeping stood without,
Weeping mourning, worshipping.
I saw a Serpent rise between
The white pillars of the door,
And he forc'd and forc'd and forc'd;
Down the golden hinges tore,
And along the pavement sweet,
Set with pearls and rubies bright,
All his shining length he drew,
Till upon the altar white
Vomiting his poison out
On the Bread and on the Wine.
So I turned into a sty,
And laid me down among the swine.

Short and simple poem witha
Short and simple poem witha dual meaning.
There is obvious comment on the falsity of religion. And another quite obvious meaning - the poem is stuffed of sexual images.
