This paper explores the interaction between subject and object, mind and nature in the early poetry of Coleridge. The Conversational poems including “The Eolian Harp” and “Frost at Midnight” reveal the One life between human and nature, and God. In his emblematizing of nature to his poems, Coleridge has spoked the voice of nature, that is, the language of nature. Coleridge firmly believes the external signs of nature convey to us the divine attributes. Therefore, the natural objects such as breeze, air, lake, cloud, and sky which reveal their unfallen and permanent attributes as linguistic signs take the form of the language of nature in Coleridge's Conversation poem. Because of their vivid imagery of nature, and because of the language of nature, “The Eolian Harp” and “Frost at Midnight” can be said to be the true examples of Coleridge's poems of nature.
