Analysis of Better never
Better never if untimely late
never should come in an unfit state
It is loss and only loss
if dew drops wears no sunny gloss
it is a loss
if in wedding bed you restlessly toss
no summer in rains
No spring in winter
Where the vale spreads with green carpet
who want a sea shore though picture perfect.
