about

Coleridge wrote his own epitaph and I’ve used elements of it in a triumphant elegy, how could I end the album with anything else?!

Coleridge’s own journey began in the West Country but it ended in Highgate. In 1817 Coleridge came to live in the Highgate home of Dr James Gillman in order to rehabilitate from his opium addiction. After Dr Gillman built a special wing for the poet, Coleridge lived there for the rest of his life, becoming known as the sage of Highgate.

While there some of his most famous poems, (though written years earlier) were first published including ‘Kubla Khan’. His literary autobiography, Biographia Literaria, appeared in 1817. Coleridge died in Highgate on 25 July 1834.

lyrics

Each is the life the Lord has made
And each from the womb of a mother came
All who live will go by grave
As all who fall before thee.

Come pray that he who toils of breath
As death in life finds life in death
Ask and hope through Christ in rest
As he who falls before thee.

Each is a day the Lord has made
And each with the mother of my children paved
Each of our boys both bright and brave
Two sons and one fine daughter.

Come Pray that he who toils of breath
As death in life finds life in death
Ask and hope through Christ in rest
As he who falls before thee.

Each is the hour the Lord has made
And each with my brother is a joyous trade
Mine mere words where his are ways
Two sons and one as father.

Come pray that he who toils of breath
As death in life finds life in death
Ask and hope through Christ in rest
As he who falls before thee.

Come pray that he who toils of breath
As death in life finds life in death
Ask and hope through Christ in rest
As he who falls before thee.
