The Deep-sea Cables Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CDCD EFEDThe 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 |
