Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Part 1

One of the English language's great poems. It captured me as a high school student, helping to make me a lifelong devotee of poetry.

Water, water, everywhere,

and all the boards did shrink

Water, water, everywhere,

nor any drop to drink

Enjoy!
