It is an ancient Mariner,
astroberkman17:
The bridegroom's doors are opened wide,
astroberkman17:
He holds him with his skinny hand,
astroberkman17:
He holds him with his glittering eye -
astroberkman17:
The Wedding-Guest sat on a stone:
astroberkman17:
"The ship was cheered, the harbour cleared,
astroberkman17:
The sun came up upon the left,
astroberkman17:
Higher and higher every day,
astroberkman17:
The bride hath paced into the hall,
astroberkman17:
The Wedding-Guest he beat his breast,
astroberkman17:
"And now the storm-blast came, and he
astroberkman17:
With sloping masts and dipping prow,
astroberkman17:
And now there came both mist and snow,
astroberkman17:
And through the drifts the snowy clifts
astroberkman17:
The ice was here, the ice was there,
astroberkman17:
At length did cross an Albatross,
astroberkman17:
It ate the food it ne'er had eat,
astroberkman17:
And a good south wind sprung up behind;
astroberkman17:
In mist or cloud, on mast or shroud,
astroberkman17:
`God save thee, ancient Mariner,
astroberkman17:
"The sun now rose upon the right:
astroberkman17:
And the good south wind still blew behind,
astroberkman17:
And I had done a hellish thing,
astroberkman17:
Nor dim nor red, like God's own head,
astroberkman17:
The fair breeze blew, the white foam flew,
astroberkman17:
Down dropped the breeze, the sails dropped down,
astroberkman17:
All in a hot and copper sky,
astroberkman17:
Day after day, day after day,
astroberkman17:
Water, water, every where,
astroberkman17:
The very deep did rot: O Christ!
