I had this poem in high school and frankly the only one I read countless times out of leisure somehow it stuck, for me especially the following lines keep playing in my head:

       Water, water, every where,
        Nor any drop to drink.

and hence Iron Maiden song with the same name is now in my every playlist since.

I read this a few years ago and noticed it contains several turns of phrase that survive to this day. Quite an achievement for any poet.

I loved this poem as a kid, too. Never got into Iron Maiden, though.
