We read this in my seventh grade English class! I had completely forgotten about it -- thanks for posting! A peculiar poem...I remember being intrigued by the albatross (seventh grade me had never heard of an albatross) and in particular these lines: 'God save thee, ancient Mariner!
From the fiends, that plague thee thus!—
Why look'st thou so?'—With my cross-bow
I shot the ALBATROSS.In mist or cloud, on mast or shroud,
It perched for vespers nine;
Whiles all the night, through fog-smoke white,
Glimmered the white Moon-shine.'
