Belated Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEG HIHI| BLITHE summer blossom born too late | A |
| Wilt make my desert garden fair | B |
| Lo Winter's hand is on the gate | A |
| His breath is in the curdling air | B |
| - | |
| Still yesterweek but yesterweek | C |
| Thou hadst unfolding in warm light | D |
| Spread ripening to the crimson streak | C |
| And seed to make the next year bright | D |
| - | |
| But now there fall the latter rains | E |
| The chills that brown the ferns are come | F |
| Southward above the shivering plains | E |
| The eddying swallows hasten home | G |
| - | |
| Oh flower too frail too late of birth | H |
| There is no sun for such as thou | I |
| Droop down upon the barren earth | H |
| What boots it to have blossomed now | I |
