"The Rime of the Ancient Mariner The Rime of the Ancient Mariner (originally The Rime of the Ancyent Marinere) is the longest major poem by the English poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge, written in 1797–98 and published in 1798 in the first edition of ""Lyrical Ballads"". Some modern editions use a revised version printed in 1817 that featured a gloss. Along with other poems in ""Lyrical Ballads"", it is often considered a signal shift to modern poetry and the beginning of British Romantic literature.

Here, Wordsworth gives his famous definition of poetry, as ""the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings"" which ""takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility."" The poems in ""Lyrical Ballads"" were mostly by Wordsworth, though Coleridge contributed, one of the great poems of English literature, the long ""Rime of the Ancient Mariner"", a tragic ballad about the survival of one sailor through a series of supernatural events on his voyage through the South Seas, and which involves the symbolically significant slaying of an albatross."

For example, the hymn's second verse alludes to ""wings"" and verse 7 refers to ""eyes"". Paley cited wings and eyes as examples of complexity of design, analogous to that of a watch, with God as the Divine Watchmaker. Alexander's composition"

The critic James V. Mirollo, the author of the first monograph in English on the subject, distinguished the terms as follows: The following discussion is based on Mirollo's analysis.
