poetry, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Coleridge
He went like one that hath been stunned,
And is of sense forlorn :
A sadder and a wiser man,
He rose the morrow morn.And thus we come to the end of
The Mariner.
What a great poem it is indeed.
But be sure to read Lokutus Prime's fabulous parody version, in
continuing process on his splendid web site!

poetry, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Coleridge
The Mariner, whose eye is bright,
Whose beard with age is hoar,
Is gone : and now the Wedding-Guest
Turned from the bridegroom's door.

poetry, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Coleridge
He prayeth best, who loveth best
All things both great and small ;
For the dear God who loveth us,
He made and loveth all.

poetry, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Coleridge
Farewell, farewell ! but this I tell
To thee, thou Wedding-Guest !
He prayeth well, who loveth well
Both man and bird and beast.

poetry, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Coleridge
To walk together to the kirk,
And all together pray,
While each to his great Father bends,
Old men, and babes, and loving friends
And youths and maidens gay !

poetry, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Coleridge
O sweeter than the marriage-feast,
'Tis sweeter far to me,
To walk together to the kirk
With a goodly company !--

poetry, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Coleridge
O Wedding-Guest ! this soul hath been
Alone on a wide wide sea :
So lonely 'twas, that God himself
Scarce seeméd there to be.

What loud uproar bursts from that door !
The wedding-guests are there :
But in the garden-bower the bride
And bride-maids singing are :
And hark the little vesper bell,
Which biddeth me to prayer !

poetry, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Coleridge
I pass, like night, from land to land ;
I have strange power of speech ;
That moment that his face I see,
I know the man that must hear me :
To him my tale I teach.

Since then, at an uncertain hour,
That agony returns :
And till my ghastly tale is told,
This heart within me burns.I think I am beginning to understand how he feels after months and months of this!

Coleridge, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, poetry
Forthwith this frame of mine was wrenched
With a woful agony,
Which forced me to begin my tale ;
And then it left me free.

poetry, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Coleridge
`O shrieve me, shrieve me, holy man !'
The Hermit crossed his brow.
`Say quick,' quoth he, `I bid thee say--
What manner of man art thou ?'

poetry, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Coleridge
And now, all in my own countree,
I stood on the firm land !
The Hermit stepped forth from the boat,
And scarcely he could stand.

poetry, Coleridge, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner
I took the oars : the Pilot's boy,
Who now doth crazy go,
Laughed loud and long, and all the while
His eyes went to and fro.
`Ha ! ha !' quoth he, `full plain I see,
The Devil knows how to row.'

poetry, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Coleridge
I moved my lips--the Pilot shrieked
And fell down in a fit ;
The holy Hermit raised his eyes,
And prayed where he did sit.

poetry, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Coleridge
Upon the whirl, where sank the ship,
The boat spun round and round ;
And all was still, save that the hill
Was telling of the sound.
Sunday, 7. September 2008, 04:01:45
poetry, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Coleridge
Stunned by that loud and dreadful sound,
Which sky and ocean smote,
Like one that hath been seven days drowned
My body lay afloat ;
But swift as dreams, myself I found
Within the Pilot's boat.

poetry, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Coleridge
Under the water it rumbled on,
Still louder and more dread :
It reached the ship, it split the bay ;
The ship went down like lead.
Friday, 5. September 2008, 02:16:05
poetry, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Coleridge
The boat came closer to the ship,
But I nor spake nor stirred ;
The boat came close beneath the ship,
And straight a sound was heard.

Coleridge, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, poetry
`Dear Lord ! it hath a fiendish look--
(The Pilot made reply)
I am a-feared'--`Push on, push on !'
Said the Hermit cheerily.
