"The ___ of the Ancient Mariner" (4)

I believe the answer is:

rime

(Other definitions for rime that I've seen before include "Kind of frost in mire" , "Hoarfrost" , "Ancient Mariner produced?" , "''The ... of the Ancient Mariner'' (Coleridge)" , "Type of frost" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
