Damning Day Terzanelle
Syllables of tercets and syllables of quatrain
Lo! Must the wicked watch when they walk this way
Watching all the sinners taught for sins which they must pay
Speechless to elude the fate of their damning day
Hasten to another, they look for comfort late
Ceaseless agony; the demon's empty sate
Watching all the sinners taught for his sins which they must pay
The wicked tremble their dry, brittle bones with a deep
Unknown fear, too much to let the body weep
Ceaseless agony; the demon's empty sate
Irons hot and white are prodded against the fleshy skin
Glares and looks pierce like bits of jagged tin
Unknown fear, too much to let the body weep
Sinners moan 'don't let them see the fear in your heart!'
They close their eyes and pray to their God with them not to part
Glares and looks pierce like bits of jagged tin
Innocence sees sunshine bloomed May, but
Lo! Must the wicked watch when they walk this way
They close their eyes and pray to their God with them not to part
Speechless to elude the fate of their damning day
