Too Late Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDFGHGHII| Had you but shown me living what you show | A |
| Now I am gone to keep my grave plot green | B |
| And I but known what vainly now I know | A |
| Lying here alone how happy had I been | C |
| If you with smiles had gladdened our joint home | D |
| As now you drench my tenement with tears | E |
| Up life's ascent together had we clomb | D |
| And traversed hand in hand the slope of years | F |
| Still is it solacing to feel you lay | G |
| Upon my sepulchre devoted flowers | H |
| When hitherward you wend your widowed way | G |
| 'Neath scorching sunshine or through drifting showers | H |
| Pity that love is ofttimes forced by Fate | I |
| In this unpunctual World to come too late | I |
