IT WAS TOO LATE FOR MAN, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
Last Line: Of our old neighbor, god!
Subject(s): God


It was too late for man,
But early yet for God ;
Creation impotent to help,
But prayer remained our side.

How excellent the heaven,
When earth cannot be had ;
How hospitable, then, the face
Of our old neighbor, God!
