The Rime of the Ancient Mariner Samuel Taylor Coleridge (extracts)

And now there came both mist and snow, 

And it grew wondrous cold: 

And ice, mast-high, came floating by, 

As green as emerald. 

And through the drifts the snowy clifts 

Did send a dismal sheen: 

Nor shapes of men nor beasts we ken— 

The ice was all between. 

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! 

……

Down dropt the breeze, the sails dropt down, 

‘Twas sad as sad could be; 

And we did speak only to break 

The silence of the sea!

……..

Day after day, day after day, 

We stuck, nor breath nor motion; 

As idle as a painted ship 

Upon a painted ocean.
