The Dies Iræ.
57
II.
GENERAL DIX.
That day, a day of wrath, a day of trouble and diſtreſs, a day of waſteneſs and deſolation, a day of darkneſs and gloomineſs, a day of clouds and thick darkneſs, a day of the trumpet and alarm againſt the fenced cities, and againſt the high towers!—Zephaniah, i. 15, 16.
1.
DAY of vengeance, without morrow!
Earth ſhall end in flame and ſorrow,
As from Saint and Seer we borrow.
2.
Ah! what terror is impending,
When the Judge is ſeen deſcending,
And each ſecret veil is rending.
3.
To the throne, the trumpet ſounding,
Through the ſepulchres reſounding,
Summons all, with voice aſtounding.
