The Deep-sea Cables Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CDCD EFED| The wrecks dissolve above us their dust drops down from afar | A |
| Down to the dark to the utter dark where the blind white sea snakes are | A |
| There is no sound no echo of sound in the deserts of the deep | B |
| Or the great gray level plains of ooze where the shell burred cables creep | B |
| - | |
| Here in the womb of the world here on the tie ribs of earth | C |
| Words and the words of men flicker and flutter and beat | D |
| Warning sorrow and gain salutation and mirth | C |
| For a Power troubles the Still that has neither voice nor feet | D |
| - | |
| They have wakened the timeless Things they have killed their father Time | E |
| Joining hands in the gloom a league from the last of the sun | F |
| Hush Men talk to day o'er the waste of the ultimate slime | E |
| And a new Word runs between whispering quot Let us be one quot | D |
