In 'The Snake' the theme of 'live and let live' has been very clearly portrayed where the poet calls himself as the second comer. He knows that he has come after the snake and should wait at the trough till the snake is done drinking water. This mentality shows that he believes in the respect a first comer should receive. Even later, after his civilised mind runs a conflict between compassion and education, he feels that a perfect balance should run between the existence of both - human and the snake.
The religious theme can be explained through two instances:
1. The poet's initial response to the snake: The poet loves and respects the snake because it is a creation of God. He calls it the 'Lord of Life'.
2. The guilt of the poet at the end of the poem: The poet feels like the ancient mariner for having hurt the snake for no reason.
