The Rime Of The Ancient Mariner Part II Lyrics by Höstsonaten

0

The Sun now rose upon the right:
Out of the sea came he
Still hid in mist, and on the left
Went down into the sea
And the good south wind still blew behind
But no sweet bird did follow
Nor any day for food or play
Came to the mariners' hollo!
And I had done an hellish thing
And it would work 'em woe:
For all averred, I had killed the bird
That made the breeze to blow
Ah wretch! said they, the bird to slay
That made the breeze to blow!
Nor dim nor red, like God's own head
The glorious Sun uprist:
Then all averred, I had killed the bird
That brought the fog and mist. '
Twas right, said they, such birds to slay
That bring the fog and mist
The fair breeze blew, the white foam flew
The furrow followed free:
We were the first that ever burst
Into that silent sea
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!
All in a hot and copper sky
The bloody Sun, at noon
Right up above the mast did stand
No bigger than the Moon
Day after day, day after day
We stuck, nor breath nor motion;
As idle as a painted ship
Upon a painted ocean
Water, water, every where
And all the boards did shrink;
Water, water, every where
Nor any drop to drink
The very deep did rot: O Christ!
That ever this should be!
Yea, slimy things did crawl with legs
Upon the slimy sea
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
And some in dreams assured were
Of the spirit that plagued us so:
Nine fathom deep he had followed us
From the land of mist and snow
And every tongue, through utter drought
Was withered at the root;
We could not speak, no more than if
We had been choked with soot
Ah! well a-day! what evil looks
Had I from old and young!
Instead of the cross, the Albatross
About my neck
