Bedlam Town Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCD EEF G HHII JJJJ

Do you want to peep into Bedlam TownA
Then come with me when the day swings downA
Into the cradle whose rockers rimB
Some people call the horizon dimB
-
-
All the mischief of all the fatesC
Seems to center in four little patesC
Just one hour before we sayD
'It is time for bed now stop your play '-
-
-
O the racket and noise and roarE
As they prance like a caravan over the floorE
With never a thought of the head that achesF
And never a heed to the 'mercy sakes '-
And 'Pity save us ' and 'Oh dear dear '-
Which all but the culprits plainly hearG
-
-
A dog a parrot a guinea henH
Warriors elephants Indian menH
A salvation army a grizzly bearI
Are all at once in the nursery thereI
-
-
And when the clock in the hall strikes sevenJ
It sounds to us like a voice from heavenJ
And each of the elves in a warm nightgownJ
March away out of Bedlam TownJ
