By the end of the poem, the speaker is sure that something even worse is coming.The speaker descends into a bizarre vision, observing a sphinx staring cruelly at him in a desert, perhaps offering him the clues to understanding what is happening around him while also embodying primal, ancient ways of being and creative, fertile energies that represent a potential union and rebirth.The poem ends where it began: in a haze of ominous foreshadowing, the spectre of a looming monster of the future rapidly approaching, the universe spinning and growing into something different than it was.

By the end of the poem, the speaker is sure that something even worse is
coming. Some nightmare—some "rough beast"—is rising, approaching the
earth at a rapid pace. He doesn't know what this creature is, but he can sense
its approach—and it is the ominous core of "The Second Coming," that
mysterious tide of evil and mystery approaching the world in the form of a
modernity full of violence, war, and the loss of traditional meaning and values.
The speaker descends into a bizarre vision, observing a sphinx staring cruelly
at him in a desert, perhaps offering him the clues to understanding what is
happening around him while also embodying primal, ancient ways of being and
creative, fertile energies that represent a potential union and rebirth.
When he re-emerges from the vision, the speaker re-enters reality, having totally
departed from it temporarily. The poem ends where it began: in a haze of
ominous foreshadowing, the spectre of a looming monster of the future rapidly
approaching, the universe spinning and growing into something different than
it was. Whether that future is an evil mess of pure chaos, or whether it will offer
some sort of freedom and possibility, remains undecided.
