  • Original Form: The poem began as a personal verse-letter addressed to Sara Hutchinson, with whom Coleridge shared a close emotional connection.

  • Content of the Letter: In this draft, Coleridge expressed his melancholy, unfulfilled longing, and loss of creative inspiration, directly speaking to her.

  • Revision into an Ode: Coleridge later transformed it into “Dejection: An Ode” (1802), shaping it into a lyrical and reflective poem. This version universalizes his emotions, linking personal grief to broader themes of nature, imagination, and the poet’s inner state.

  • Significance: The transformation allowed the poem to move from a private lament to a public meditation on dejection and creative loss, while retaining its emotional intensity.
