The Kraken
Below
the thunders of the upper deep;
Far, far beneath
in the abysmal sea,
His ancient,
dreamless, uninvaded sleep
The Kraken
sleepeth: faintest sunlights flee
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
Unnumbered and
enormous polypi
Winnow with giant
arms the slumbering green.
There hath he
lain for ages and will lie
Battening open
huge sea worms in his sleep,
Until the latter
fire shall heat the deep;
Then once by man
and angels to be seen,
In roaring he
shall rise and on the surface die.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
Far, far beneath in the abysmal sea,
His ancient, dreamless, uninvaded sleep
The Kraken sleepeth: faintest sunlights flee
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
Unnumbered and enormous polypi
Winnow with giant arms the slumbering green.
There hath he lain for ages and will lie
Battening open huge sea worms in his sleep,
Until the latter fire shall heat the deep;
Then once by man and angels to be seen,
In roaring he shall rise and on the surface die.
