Narrative poem2 quotes
The fair breeze blew, the white foam flew,
The furrow followed free;
We were the first that ever burst
Into that silent sea. — Samuel Taylor Coleridge · 1798The ship was cheered, the harbour cleared,
Merrily did we drop
Below the kirk, below the hill,
Below the lighthouse top. — Samuel Taylor Coleridge · 1798
