Dear Leen Abdallah ,

it has past much time for me since when I studied such a wonderful and intricate poem . The answer is the Dead Albatross . I am sorry I did not reply before , but .........was way too busy .

 

I would advice to you to read a shorter but marvellous poem also of Coleridge : " Kubla Khan " . I always preferred this second because we need cheer and lough in this world , not much to think to bad things : these belong to the real enemy of every man or woman : the devils .

 

Wish you a serene and fruitful day .
