LINES FROM A NOTEBOOK - MAY/JULY 1811 by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE

Poet Analysis

First Line: A LOW DEAD THUNDER MUTTERED THRO' THE NIGHT
Last Line: & LEAVE ME DREAMING. --
Subject(s): SLEEP;

A low dead Thunder muttered 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 & True, that lull me into Sleep,
& leave me dreaming. --
