All Mad Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFE AGHIJKLK HMNOLPNPDQRQ

He is mad as a hare poor fellowA
And should be in chains you sayB
I haven't a doubt of your statementC
But who isn't mad I prayB
Why the world is a great asylumD
And people are all insaneE
Gone daft with pleasure or follyF
Or crazed with passion and painE
-
The infant who shrieks at a shadowA
The child with his Santa Claus faithG
The woman who worships Dame FashionH
Each man with his notions of deathI
The miser who hoards up his earningsJ
The spendthrift who wastes them too soonK
The scholar grown blind in his delvingL
The lover who stares at the moonK
-
The poet who thinks life a paeanH
The cynic who thinks it a fraudM
The youth who goes seeking for pleasureN
The preacher who dares talk of GodO
All priests with their creeds and their croakingL
All doubters who dare to denyP
The gay who find aught to wake laughterN
The sad who find aught worth a sighP
Whoever is downcast or solemnD
Whoever is gleeful and gladQ
Are only the dupes of delusionsR
We are all of us all of us madQ
