This is the house of Bedlam	A
	-
This is the man	B
that lies in the house of Bedlam	A
	-
This is the time	C
of the tragic man	B
that lies in the house of Bedlam	A
	-
This is a wristwatch	D
telling the time	C
of the talkative man	B
that lies in the house of Bedlam	A
	-
This is a sailor	E
wearing the watch	D
that tells the time	C
of the honored man	B
that lies in the house of Bedlam	A
	-
This is the roadstead all of board	F
reached by the sailor	E
wearing the watch	D
that tells the time	C
of the old brave man	B
that lies in the house of Bedlam	A
	-
These are the years and the walls of the ward	F
the winds and clouds of the sea of board	F
sailed by the sailor	E
wearing the watch	D
that tells the time	C
of the cranky man	B
that lies in the house of Bedlam	A
	-
This is a Jew in a newspaper hat	G
that dances weeping down the ward	F
over the creaking sea of board	F
beyond the sailor	E
winding his watch	D
that tells the time	C
of the cruel man	B
that lies in the house of Bedlam	A
	-
This is a world of books gone flat	G
This is a Jew in a newspaper hat	G
that dances weeping down the ward	F
over the creaking sea of board	F
of the batty sailor	E
that winds his watch	D
that tells the time	C
of the busy man	B
that lies in the house of Bedlam	A
	-
This is a boy that pats the floor	H
to see if the world is there is flat	G
for the widowed Jew in the newspaper hat	G
that dances weeping down the ward	F
waltzing the length of a weaving board	F
by the silent sailor	E
that hears his watch	D
that ticks the time	C
of the tedious man	B
that lies in the house of Bedlam	A
	-
These are the years and the walls and the door	H
that shut on a boy that pats the floor	H
to feel if the world is there and flat	G
This is a Jew in a newspaper hat	G
that dances joyfully down the ward	F
into the parting seas of board	F
past the staring sailor	E
that shakes his watch	D
that tells the time	C
of the poet the man	B
that lies in the house of Bedlam	A
	-
This is the soldier home from the war	H
These are the years and the walls and the door	H
that shut on a boy that pats the floor	H
to see if the world is round or flat	G
This is a Jew in a newspaper hat	G
that dances carefully down the ward	F
walking the plank of a coffin board	F
with the crazy sailor	E
that shows his watch	D
that tells the time	C
of the wretched man	B
that lies in the house of Bedlam	A
