About

A sonnet composed by Coleridge in 1789. In this poem, the narrator makes a wish concerning his “course through Life” (9). He hopes to acquire knowledge and wisdom as his “days advance” (11), to be thinking and learning until death takes him.

Life Annotated

As late I journey'd o'er the extensive plain
&nbspWhere native Otter sports his scanty stream,
Musing in torpid woe a Sister's pain,
&nbspThe glorious prospect woke me from the dream.

At every step it widen'd to my sight—
&nbspWood, Meadow, verdant Hill, and dreary Steep,
Following in quick succession of delight,—
&nbspTill all—at once—did my eye ravish'd sweep!

May this (I cried) my course through Life portray!
New scenes of Wisdom may each step display,
And Knowledge open as my days advance!
&nbspTill what time Death shall pour the undarken'd ray,
My eye shall dart thro' infinite expanse,
&nbspAnd thought suspended lie in Rapture's blissful trance.
