2. Rhyme
Rhyme Scheme
The last word each of the first three lines are hands, lands, stands. All three lines
rhyme with another. Likewise, the last word in each of the three lines in the second
stanza are crawls, walls, and falls (wich all rhyme)
End Rhyme
It is because the position of rhyme is inthe end of line. Example: hands, lands, stands.

3. Stanza
There are two triplets rhymes aaa and bbb in this poem because each stanza consists
of three lines.
 First Stanza
He clasps the crag with crooked hands; (a)
Close to the sun in lonely lands, (a)
Ring'd with the azure world, he stands. (a)
 Second Stanza
The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls; (b)
He watches from his mountain walls, (b)
And like a thunderbolt he falls. (b)

4. Rhythm
This poem is begun with unstressed sound and followed by stressed sound. It means
that there is an iambic in this poem. All of lines in this poem are in iambic pattern.
This poem consists of eight syllables in each line which devided into four feet called
tetrameter.

We see that the first line is set in a regular iambic tetrameter, but the lines
immediately following it, the second and third lines, both start with a trochee (a
stressed syllable followed by a non-stressed one, e.g. TI-ger) i.e.:
 He CLASPS the CRAG with CROOKed HANDS;
CLOSE to the SUN in LONEly LANDS,
RING'D with the AZure WORLD, he STANDS.
At the end of line 1, we would expect the next syllable to be an unstressed one but as
we move to line 2, we encounter a stressed beat. The intuitive reaction is to speed
through the next syllables to regain the rhythm. In line two, the phrase 'lonely lands'
can be slowed down, dwelling on the l's, lengthening the beats to compensate for the
compression earlier in the line — the line's rhythm is balanced; after the compression,
the expansion.

In line 3, a caesura is used as a device to control the poem's rhythm. As with line 2,
again we intuitively speed through the first part of the line (note also the contraction
of the word ring'd). Then, the comma after 'azure world' — the caesura in question —
prompts a short pause before we continue with 'he stands'. Again the rhythm of the
line is balanced; after a compression, a pause for expansion.

Contrast the first stanza with the second one, which follows a rigid rhythm instead:
The WRINkled SEA beNEATH him CRAWLS;
He WATCHes FROM his MOUNTain WALLS,
And LIKE a THUNderBOLT he FALLS.

5. Imagery
The imagery is with sight and sound. For sight, they are “close to the sun”, “azure
world”, “wrinkled sea beneath”, and “mountain walls”. The only one that was
imagery of sight and sound was “like a thunderbolt he falls”
The eagle : is a male and may represent some kind of masculine ideal
The mountain: the entire mountain seems to belong to the solitary eagle
Crooked hands: an image and example of personification
Close to the sun: a hyperbole (because he is not actually to the sun, but seems so, in
way).

6. Figure of Speech

Perhaps he imagined it in the mountains around him near the Mediterranean.

age, the human condition, the romantic era, etc).
