Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDEFFGGHHDIJJKL| The last great Day it may be near | A |
| Or Man may pass ere it comes here | B |
| There may be nothing but weeds and flowers | C |
| Over the Earth in her dying hours | C |
| Men beasts and birds may all be gone | D |
| Ere the world's disaster shall come on | E |
| Or there may be neither grass nor trees | F |
| But stony wastes round the ashen seas | F |
| No life to take when the days are dead | G |
| And God is doing the thing He said | G |
| Nothing but Desolation's wing | H |
| Like a sunless mist o'er everything | H |
| And all the millions long long gone | D |
| To ashes turned in Oblivion | I |
| And the last great Day shall but consume | J |
| The bones of a world in its fiery tomb | J |
| As God puts by for ever and aye | K |
| The thought of the sorrow that's passed away | L |
