The Rime of the Ancient Mariner: The Albatross
Lyrical Ballads (1798)
At length did cross an Albatross, Thorough the fog it came; As if it had been a Christian soul, We hailed it in God’s name.
It ate the food it ne’er had eat, And round and round it flew. The ice did split with a thunder-fit; The helmsman steered us through!
And a good south wind sprung up behind; The Albatross did follow, And every day, for food or play, Came to the mariner’s hollo!
