Oh sleep! it is a gentle thing,
Beloved from pole to pole!
To Mary Queen the praise be given!
She sent the gentle sleep from Heaven,
That slid into my soul.

That had so long remained,
I dreamt that they were filled with dew;
And when I awoke, it rained.

lightning falling in perfectly vertical

still moving due to some mysterious force.

The dead sailors rise up amid the thunder
and lightning. They look like zombies and
don't say a word. But they all do the jobs
they are supposed to do, helping to sail
the ship.
14
15. MEANING
The Mariner goes with the flow, and he basically
says, "I don't care if these guys are just bodies
with no souls, as long as we get moving again,
I'll help out."

but the boy told him to stop doing so.

blessed by saying that when the dawn
approached , the bodies dropped their arms and
clustered around the mast. He heard sweet
sounds coming from their mouths and emanating
from their bodies.

Each sound the angelic zombies produced flew around
the mariner before darting towars the sun. After
some time, the sounds came back one by one,
ocassionally mixed, sometimes mixed, sometimes
individually recognizable.

He heard random noises dropping out of the
sky. Sometimes he heard a sky lark singing,
and sometimes he was confronted by a
medley of bird sing of different kinds filling
the sea and the air, making the world sweet
with their jargoning(MEANING less sounds).
20
21. MEANING
Then the noises were like those of musical
instruments, among them being the flute. It soon
became and angel's song, of such beauty that the
heavens were muted.
21
22. MEANING
As the noises of the angelic zombies ceased, the
sails still made a pleasant noise until noonm,
which the mariner compares to a hidden brook in
the month of june, when it is at its height, and
sings a quiet tune to a sleepy forest all night.

The ship sailed on till noon without incidence.
There was still no breeze, but the ship sailed
on smoothly and slowly, the push coming
from beneath.

24. MEANING
Nine fathom(1 fathom = 6 feet) below the base of the
ship, the spirit from the land of mist and snow slid on,
and he was what made the ship move. At noon, the
ship's sails stopped rustling, as the ship came to a halt.
24
25. MEANING
At noon, when the sun was right above the mast, it
seemed that it was anchoring the ship to the ocean.

short uneasy motion., It started shaking back and forth,
upto half of the length of the ship, again with a short
uneasy motion.

rushed to his head, causing him to faint.

time, he did not know. but as he regained
conciousness, he heard and vaguely
understood two voices in the air

land of mist and snow(The southern land). He speaks in
a round about manner that the spirit loved the bird
(the spirit was fond of the albatross) that loved the
man (the albatross loved the mariner) who shot him
with his bow (the mariner shot the albatross with his
bow, killing him).
29
30. MEANING
The second voice sounds more gentle, and was 'as
soft as honew dew'. He says that the mariner has
performed penance, and has yet more penance
to perform.

32. • The Mariner continues telling his story to the Wedding-
Guest. Free of the curse of the Albatross, the Mariner was able
to sleep, and as he did so, the rains came, drenching him. The
moon broke through the clouds, and a host of spirits entered
the dead men’s bodies, which began to move about and
perform their old sailors’ tasks.
32
33. • The ship was propelled forward as the Mariner joined in the
work. The Wedding-Guest declares again that he is afraid of
the Mariner, but the Mariner tells him that the men’s bodies
were inhabited by blessed spirits, not cursed souls
33
34. • At dawn, the bodies clustered around the mast, and sweet sounds rose
up from their mouths—the sounds of the spirits leaving their bodies.
The spirits flew around the ship, singing. The ship continued to surge
forward until noon, driven by the spirit from the land of mist and
snow, nine fathoms deep in the sea. At noon, however, the ship
stopped, then began to move backward and forward as if it were
trapped in a tug of war.
34
35. • Finally, it broke free, and the Mariner fell to the deck with the
jolt of sudden acceleration. He heard two disembodied voices
in the air; one asked if he was the man who had killed the
Albatross, and the other declared softly that he had done
penance for his crime and would do more penance before all
was rectified.
