Samuel Colertidge's "the eolian harp"?

Question

Why did Coleridge change the end to "The Eolian Harp"?

Answer 1

To carry out her moral function properly thus demands a reproof of Coleridge's pantheism, which has wandered too far afield from orthodox values and actually threatens the domestic sphere by gesturing too far beyond it. Of course, this is still a rhetorical posturing: the female voice is a construct which forces Coleridge yet once more to back away from the doctrinal border he crosses only tentatively and momentarily. We never read a representation of Sara actually speaking; we read the speaker's account of her response, a response which, like the boiling milk, causes a kind of fall from the poetic heights, a shutting down of the possibilities of perception, closing the prison doors again:
"But thy more serious eye a mild reproof
Darts, O belovèd Woman! nor such thoughts
Dim and unhallowed dost thou not reject,
And biddest me walk humbly with my God.
Meek Daughter in the family of Christ!"
