THE RIME OF THE ANCYENT MARINERE-4
Fear not, fear not, thou wedding guest!
Beyond the shadow of the ship
Within the shadow of the ship
Seven days, seven nights I saw that curse
I lookd upon the eldritch deck,
And I blessd them unaware!
My heart as dry as dust.
Is the curse in a dead mans eye!
They coild and swam; and every track
I watchd the water-snakes:
A still and awful red.
A spring 九九藏書of love gusht from my heart,
And a million million slimy things
I closd my lids and kept them close,
Sure my kind saint took pity on me,
"And thou art long and lank and brown
I watchd their rich attire:
Softly she was going up
The many men so beautiful,
Fell off in hoary ?akes.
O happy living things! no tongue
A spirit from on high:
But Oread•99csw•com! more horrible than that
I lookd upon the rotting Sea,
Lay like a load on my weary eye,
Had never passd away.
"And thy skinny hand so brown"--
An orphans curse would drag to Hell
I lookd to Heaven, and tryd to pray;
Was a ?ash of golden ?re.
Alone on the wide wide Sea;
The cold sweat melted from their limbs,
And drew my eyes away;
A九*九*藏*書nd Christ would take no pity on
"As is the ribbd Sea-sand.
And a star or two beside--
And no where did abide:
And from my neck so free
The self-same moment I could pray;
Alone, alone, all all alone
Their beauty might declare:
And yet I could not die.
And there the dead men lay.
"I fear thy skinny hand;
But or ever a prayer had gusht,
The look wi九*九*藏*書th which they lookd on me,
A wicked whisper came and made
The Albatross fell off, and sank
This body dropt not down.
And the dead were at my feet.
Her beams bemockd the sultry main
And I blessd them unaware.
And they all dead did lie!
They movd in tracks of shining white;
Till the balls like pulses beat;
Blue, glossy green, and velvet black
The moving Moon wehttps://read•99csw.comnt up the sky
My soul in agony.
The charmed water burnt alway
But where the ships huge shadow lay,
For the sky and the sea, and the sea and the sky
"I fear thee, ancyent Marinere!
Like lead into the sea.
Ne rot, ne reek did they;
"I fear thee and thy glittering eye
Like morning frosts yspread;
Livd on--and so did I.
