To One In Bedlam Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBC DBBA EEFGFGWith delicate mad hands behind his sordid bars | A |
Surely he hath his posies which they tear and twine | B |
Those scentless wisps of straw that miserably line | B |
His strait caged universe whereat the dull world stares | C |
- | |
Pedant and pitiful O how his rapt gaze wars | D |
With their stupidity Know they what dreams divine | B |
Lift his long laughing reveries like enchanted wine | B |
And make his melancholy germane to the stars' | A |
- | |
O lamentable brother if those pity thee | E |
Am I not fain of all thy lone eyes promise me | E |
Half a fool's kingdom far from men who sow and reap | F |
All their days vanity Better than mortal flowers | G |
Thy moon kissed roses seem better than love or sleep | F |
The star crowned solitude of thine oblivious hours | G |
