The Depths Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBC ADEFDEF| Not only sun kissed heights are fair Below | A |
| The cold dark billows of the frowning deep | B |
| Do lovely blossoms of the ocean sleep | B |
| Rocked gently by the waters to and fro | A |
| The coral beds with magic colours glow | A |
| And priceless pearl encrusted molluscs heap | B |
| The glittering rocks where shining atoms leap | B |
| Like living broken rainbows | C |
| - | |
| Even so | A |
| We find the sea of sorrow Black as night | D |
| The sullen surface meets our frightened gaze | E |
| As down we sink to darkness and despair | F |
| But at the depths such beauty such delight | D |
| Such flowers as never grew in pleasure's ways | E |
| Ah not alone are sun kissed summits fair | F |
