The Mind

Fragment: A low dead Thunder mutter'd thro' the night

by Samuel Taylor Coleridge 1772–1834

From Complete Poetical Works, ed. E. H. Coleridge (1912)

The Mind

A low dead Thunder mutter'd thro' the night,
As 'twere a giant angry in his sleep--
Nature! sweet nurse, O take me in thy lap
And tell me of my Father yet unseen,
Sweet tales, and true, that lull me into sleep
And leave me dreaming.
