the rime of the ancient mariner

     

The Rime of the Ancient Mariner (original: The Rime of the Ancyent Marinere) is the longest major poem by the English poet Samuel Taylor Colerige written in 1797–1799 and published in the first edition of Lyrical Ballads (1798). The modern editions use a later revised version printed in 1817 which featured a "gloss". Along with other poems in Lyrical Ballads, it was a signal shift to modern poetry, and the beginnings of British Romantic literature.
