IV) [Solitude] The moving moon went up to the sky, And nowhere did abide; Softly she was going up, And a star or two beside. - The Ancient Mariner (pt. IV) [Moon] O sleep! it is a gentle thing, Beloved from pole to pole! To Mary Queen the praise be given! She sent the gentle sleep from Heaven That slid into my soul. - The Ancient Mariner (pt.
