I had this poem in high school and frankly the only one I read countless times out of leisure somehow it stuck, for me especially the following lines keep playing in my head:
Water, water, every where,
Nor any drop to drink.
and hence Iron Maiden song with the same name is now in my every playlist since.

- DubiousPusher 7y agoI read this a few years ago and noticed it contains several turns of phrase that survive to this day. Quite an achievement for any poet.
- AlexCoventry 7y agoI loved this poem as a kid, too. Never got into Iron Maiden, though.
