'Rime of the Ancient Mariner' is the longest major poem by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, which explores the experiences of a sailor who has returned from a long sea voyage. 

The poem was first published in 1798 in Coleridge's 'Lyrical Ballads', an anthology which is considered to mark the beginning of Romantic literature.
