To One In Bedlam Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBC DBBA EEFGFG

With delicate mad hands behind his sordid barsA
Surely he hath his posies which they tear and twineB
Those scentless wisps of straw that miserably lineB
His strait caged universe whereat the dull world staresC
-
Pedant and pitiful O how his rapt gaze warsD
With their stupidity Know they what dreams divineB
Lift his long laughing reveries like enchanted wineB
And make his melancholy germane to the stars'A
-
O lamentable brother if those pity theeE
Am I not fain of all thy lone eyes promise meE
Half a fool's kingdom far from men who sow and reapF
All their days vanity Better than mortal flowersG
Thy moon kissed roses seem better than love or sleepF
The star crowned solitude of thine oblivious hoursG
