Too Late Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACBBA DEFDEF| WHEN Love sweet Love was tangled in my snare | A |
| I clipped his wings and dressed his cage with flowers | B |
| Made him my little joy for little hours | B |
| And fed him when I had a song to spare | A |
| And then I saw how good life's good things were | C |
| The kingdoms and the glories and the powers | B |
| Flowers grew in sheaves and stars were shed in showers | B |
| And when the great things wearied Love was there | A |
| - | |
| - | |
| But when within his cage one winter day | D |
| I found him lying still with folded wings | E |
| No longer fluttering eager to be fed | F |
| Kingdoms and powers and glories passed away | D |
| And of life's countless precious priceless things | E |
| Nothing was left but Love and Love was dead | F |
