The albatross was a symbol of good luck and fair wind. The sailors felt that the Mariner destryed any good fortune they will have.

And I had done a hellish thing,

And it would work 'em woe:

For all averred, I had killed the bird

That made the breeeze to blow.

Ah wretch! said they, the bird to slay,

That made the breeze to blow!
