The Kraken Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDDCAEFAAEF| Below the thunders of the upper deep | A |
| Far far beneath in the abysmal sea | B |
| His ancient dreamless uninvaded sleep | A |
| The Kraken sleepeth faintest sunlights flee | B |
| About his shadowy sides above him swell | C |
| Huge sponges of millennial growth and height | D |
| And far away into the sickly light | D |
| From many a wondrous grot and secret cell | C |
| Unnumbered and enormous polypi | A |
| Winnow with giant fins the slumbering green | E |
| There hath he lain for ages and will lie | F |
| Battening upon huge seaworms in his sleep | A |
| Until the latter fire shall heat the deep | A |
| Then once by men and angels to be seen | E |
| In roaring he shall rise and on the surface die | F |
Alfred Lord Tennyson
