More from Samuel Taylor Coleridge

  1. The Wedding-Guest here beat his breast, For he heard the loud bassoon.
  2. And now there came both mist and snow, And it grew wondrous cold: And ice, mast-high, came floating by, As green as emerald.
  3. The ship was cheered, the harbour cleared, Merrily did we drop Below the kirk, below the hill, Below the light-house top.
  4. 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!
  5. He holds him with his glittering eye - The Wedding-Guest stood still, And listens like a three years child: The Mariner hath his will.
  6. '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.
  7. The guests are met, the feast is set: May'st hear the merry din.
  8. The fair breeze blew, the white foam flew, The furrow followed free: We were the first that ever burst Into that silent sea.
