01 - Farewell Farewell, Thou Wedding-guest
I pass, like night, from land to land;
I have strange power of speech;
That moment that his face I see,
To him my tale I teach.
Farewell, farewell! but this I tell
To thee, thou Wedding-Guest!
He prayeth well, who loveth well
Both man and bird and beast.
Farewell, farewell! but this I tell
To thee, thou Wedding-Guest!
He prayeth well, who loveth well
Both man and bird and beast.
Since then, at an uncertain hour,
That agony returns:
And till my ghastly tale is told,
This heart within me burns.

To him my tale I teach.
Farewell, farewell! but this I tell

Both man and bird and beast.
I pass, like night, from land to land;
I have strange power of speech;
That moment that his face I see,
To him my tale I teach.
He prayeth best, who loveth best
All things both great and small;
For the dear God who loveth us,
He made and loveth all.

03 - My Heart As Dry As Dust
I fear thee, ancient mariner!
I fear thy skinny hand!
As is the ribbed sea-sand.
I looked upon the rotting sea,
And drew my eyes away;
And there the dead men lay.
I looked to heaven, and tried to pray;
A wicked whisper came, and made
My heart as dry as dust.
I looked upon the rotting sea,
And a thousand thousand slimy things
Lived on; and so did I.
I looked to heaven, and tried to pray;
A wicked whisper came, and made
My heart as dry as dust.
I fear thee, ancient mariner!
Fear not, fear not, thou Wedding-Guest!
This body dropt not down.
I...

And a thousand thousand slimy things
Lived on; and so did I.

04 - The Ocean Green
Swiftly, swiftly flew the ship,
Sweetly, sweetly blew the breeze -
On me alone.
'Twas night, calm night, the Moon was high;
I viewed the ocean, the ocean green
- ?????????????????????????????
- Like a meadow-gale of spring -
- Yet it felt like a welcoming.
Swiftly, swiftly flew the ship,

05 - A Sadder And A Wiser Man
1. I pass, like night, from land to land;
I have strange power of speech;
That moment that his face I see,
To him my tale I teach.
2.O Wedding-Guest! this soul hath been
Alone on a wide wide sea:
So lonely 'twas, that God Himself
Scarce seemed there to be.
3. Farewell, farewell! but this I tell
To thee, thou Wedding-Guest!
He prayeth well, who loveth well
Both man and bird and beast.
He prayeth best, who loveth best
All things both great and small;
For the dear God who loveth us,
He made and loveth all.

O Wedding-Guest! this soul hath been
Alone on a wide wide sea:
So lonely 'twas, that God Himself
Scarce seemed there to be.
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.
He went like one that hath been stunned,
And is of sense forlorn:
A sadder and a wiser man,
He rose the morrow morn.
A sadder and a wiser man,
He rose the morrow morn.

06 - The Bay Is White In Silent Light
The harbour-bay was clear as glass,
Or let me sleep alway.
And on the bay the moonlight lay,
Or let me sleep alway.
The rock shone bright, the kirk no less,
Or let me sleep alway.
The moonlight steeped in silentness
And the bay was white with silent light...
The harbour-bay was clear as glass,
Or let me sleep alway.
And on the bay the moonlight lay,
Or let me sleep alway.
The rock shone bright, the kirk no less,
Or let me sleep alway.
No voice; but oh! the silence sank
Like music on my heart.
Like music...
The harbour-bay was clear as glass...
And the bay, and the bay, and the bay was white...
Let me sleep always.
08 - A Day Of Warm Rain In Heaven
Around, around flew each sweet sound,
Then darted to the Sun;
Now mixed, now one by one.
Around, around flew each sweet sound,
Then darted to the Sun;
Now mixed, now one by one.
Around, around flew each sweet sound,
Then darted to the Sun;
Now mixed, now one by one.
09 - Whispers O'er The Sea
The silly buckets on the deck,
That had so long remained,
I dreamt that they were filled with dew;
And when I awoke, it rained.
My lips were wet, my throat was cold,
My garments all were dank;
Sure I had drunken in my dreams,
And still my body drank.
I moved, and could not feel my limbs:
I was so light - almost
I thought that I had died in sleep,
And was a blessèd ghost.

11 - I Killed The Albatross
With my cross-bow I shot the Albatross
That made the breeze to blow.
With my cross-bow I shot the Albatross
That made the breeze to blow.
With my cross-bow I shot the Albatross
That made the breeze to blow.
With my cross-bow I shot the Albatross
That made the breeze to blow.
All in a hot and copper sky,
The bloody Sun, at noon,
Right up above the mast did stand,
No bigger than the Moon.
But where the ship's huge shadow lay,
The charmèd water burnt alway
A still and awful red.
All in a hot and copper sky,
The bloody Sun, at noon,
No bigger than the Moon.
And it would work 'em woe:
For all averred, I had killed the bird
That made the breeze to blow.
12 - For The Sky And The Sea And The Sea And The S
And now the Storm-blast came, and he
Was tyrannous and strong:
He struck with his o'ertaking wings,
And chased us south along.
And now there came both mist and snow
And it grew wondrous cold:
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!
About, about in reel and rout
The death-fires danced at night;
The water, like a witch's oils,
Burnt green, and blue and white.
Four times fifty living men,
They dropped down one by one.
The souls did from their bodies fly, -
They fled to bliss or woe!
I closed my lids, and kept them close,
Lay like a load on my weary eye,
For the sky and the sea, and the sea and the sky
I closed my lids, and kept them close
For the sky and the sea, and the sea and the sky!
I closed my lids, and kept them close
For the sky and the sea, and the sea and the sky!
I closed, kept them closed
13 - The Moment I Could Pray
I watched the water-snakes:
They moved in tracks of shining white,
And when they reared, the elfish light
Fell off in hoary flakes.
Within the shadow of the ship
I watched their rich attire:
Blue, glossy green, and velvet black,
They coiled and swam;
Was a flash of golden fire.
O happy living things! no tongue
Their beauty might declare:
A spring of love gushed from my heart,
And I blessed them unaware:
And I blessed them unaware:
And I blessed them unaware:
The selfsame moment I could pray;
And I blessed them unaware:
The selfsame moment I could pray;
And from my neck so free
The Albatross fell off, and sank
Like lead into the sea.
The moment I could pray.
I could pray.
