"I fear thee, ancyent Marinere!
 * "I fear thy skinny hand;

"And thou art long and lank and brown
 * "As is the ribb'd Sea-sand.

"I fear thee and thy glittering eye
 * "And thy skinny hand so brown—

Fear not, fear not, thou wedding guest!
 * This body dropt not down.

Alone, alone, all all alone
 * Alone on the wide wide Sea;

And Christ would take no pity on
 * My soul in agony.
