Dies Illa Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAA AAAA AAAA AAAA| How shall it be with them that day | A |
| When God demands of Earth His pay | A |
| With them who make a god of clay | A |
| And gold and put all truth away | A |
| - | |
| Shall not they see the lightning ray | A |
| Of wrath and hear the trumpet bray | A |
| Of black destruction while dismay | A |
| O'erwhelms them and God's hosts delay | A |
| - | |
| Shall not they clothed in rich array | A |
| Pray God for mercy and a sway | A |
| Heap on their hearts the ashes gray | A |
| Of old repentance Nay oh nay | A |
| - | |
| They shall not know till He shall lay | A |
| An earthquake hand upon their way | A |
| And Doomsday clad in Death's decay | A |
| Sweep down and they've no time to pray | A |
