poem req\'d ancient mariner

I can't find it anywhere. A friend really wants it. He says it is a long poem, he thinks called the Ancient Mariner's or something. He says it is the one with "Water, water, everywhere, but not a drop to drink"?
I have no idea.
If anyone knows it, or can point me in the right direction for him - thanks

Re: poem req\'d ancient mariner

Samuel Taylor Coleridge evidently wrote part of this poem on a return sea trip from Italy to England. At this time he was 'experimenting' with opium and, some claim, Part 2 (lines 123 on) where he describes the sea was a result of this experimentation and this poem along with 'Nightingale' became two of his best known works. Just thought you would like to know, if you didn't already....but I often think of Coleridge when I'm alone at sea and the 'visitors' come if know what I mean... ;-)

Gordonmc is right. Spelling correct, too. It's 'nor any drop...' , by the way.
