More from Samuel Taylor Coleridge

  1. The ship was cheered, the harbour cleared, Merrily did we drop Below the kirk, below the hill, Below the light-house top.
  2. The bride hath paced into the hall, Red as a rose is she.
  3. He holds him with his glittering eye - The Wedding-Guest stood still, And listens like a three years child: The Mariner hath his will.
  4. And now there came both mist and snow, And it grew wondrous cold: And ice, mast-high, came floating by, As green as emerald.
  5. The guests are met, the feast is set: May'st hear the merry din.
  6. The ice was here, the ice was there, The ice was all around: It cracked and growled, and roared and howled, Like noises in a swound!
  7. It is an ancient Mariner, And he stoppeth one of three. 'By thy long gray beard and glittering eye, Now wherefore stopp'st thou me?'
  8. 'God save thee, ancient Mariner! From the fiends, that plague thee thus! - Why look'st thou so?' - With my cross-bow I shot the Albatross.
