Analysis of Undone To Do Too Late For Times Gone
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Too late to be on time for work.
A work to find behind the time to be done.
Yet rushing to catch up,
To what has been lost too late...
For what has gone to waste.
While awaiting for another time,
Still behind for work undone to do!
