Rhyme Scheme: ABBC DEED FGHF IJJI HKKL| And the last day being come Man stood alone | A |
| Ere sunrise on the world's dismantled verge | B |
| Awaiting how from everywhere should urge | B |
| The Coming of the Lord And behold none | C |
| - | |
| Did come but indistinct from every realm | D |
| Of earth and air and water growing more | E |
| And louder shriller heavier a roar | E |
| Up the dun atmosphere did overwhelm | D |
| - | |
| His ears and as he looked affrighted round | F |
| Every manner of beast innumerable | G |
| All thro' the shadows crying grew until | H |
| The wailing was like grass upon the ground | F |
| - | |
| Asudden then within his human side | I |
| Their anguish since the goad he wielded first | J |
| And since he gave them not to drink their thirst | J |
| Darted compressed and vital As he died | I |
| - | |
| Low in the East now lighting gorgeously | H |
| He saw the last sea serpent iris mailed | K |
| Which with a spear transfix d yet availed | K |
| To pluck the sun down into the dead sea | L |
