In my senior year of high school in Fort Myers FL, we read "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner". It is about an old sailor who lives under a bridge who stops a person going to a wedding and tells his sad story about killing an albatross and how much he regrets it. As I recall, this was near the end of the poem:

"Farewell, farewell, but this I tell to thee, thou wedding guest.
He prayeth well, who loveth well, both man and bird and beast.

He prayeth best, who loveth best, all things both great and small.
For the great God who loveth us, he made and loveth all."
