lived on ; and so did i
i looked upon the rottg sea,
and drew y eyes away ;
i looked upon the rottg deck,
and there the dead n y
i looked to heaven, and tried to pray ;
but or ever a prayer had ght,
a wicked whisper ca, and ade
y heart as dry as dt
i closed y lids, and kept the close,
and the balls like pulses beat ;
for the sky and the sea, and the sea and the sky,
y like a load on y weary eye,
and the dead were at y feet
the ld sweat lted fro their libs,
nor rot nor reek did they :
the look with which they looked on
had never passed away
an orphan≈039;s curse would drag to hell
a spirit fro on high ;
but oh ! ore horrible than that
is the curse a dead an≈039;s eye !

and yet i uld not die
the ovg oon went up the sky,
and nowhere did abide :
softly she was gog up,
and a star or o beside—
her beas beocked the sultry a,
like april hoar-frost spread ;
but where the ship≈039;s huge shadow y,
the char′d water burnt alway
a still and awful red
beyond the shadow of the ship,
i watched the water-snakes :
they oved tracks of shg white,
and when they reared, the elfish light
fell off hoary fkes
with the shadow of the ship
i watched their rich attire :
blue, glossy green, and velvet bck,
they iled and swa ; and every track
was a fsh of golden fire
o happy livg thgs ! no tongue
their beauty ight decre :
a sprg of love ghed fro y heart,
and i blessed the unaware :
sure y kd sat took pity on ,
and i blessed the unaware
the self-sa ont i uld pray ;
and fro y neck so free
the albatross fell off, and sank
like lead to the sea
