| | | Below the thunders of the upper deep; |
| | | Far, far beneath in the abysmal sea, |
| | | His antient, dreamless, uninvaded sleep |
| | | The Kraken sleepeth: faintest sunlights flee |
| 5 | | About his shadowy sides: above him swell |
| | | Huge sponges of millennial growth and height; |
| | | And far away into the sickly light, |
| | | From many a wondrous grot and secret cell |
| | | Unnumber'd and enormous polypi |
| 10 | | Winnow with giant arms the slumbering green. |
| | | There hath he lain for ages and will lie |
| | | Battening upon huge seaworms in his sleep, |
| | | Until the latter fire shall heat the deep; |
| | | Then once by man and angels to be seen, |
| 15 | | In roaring he shall rise and on the surface die. |
