"The Highwayman" by Alfred Noyes (poetry reading)

[lpeter2k11]

One thing I never got over, why didn't the landlord help his daughter?

[jorgekluney]

@lpeter2k11 I'm thinking they killed him. Marched in, said no word to him, killed him and began to drink his liquor.

I'm doing this play in my drama class how awesome! 6th grade:)

[MrsMattewKnight011]

I'm in 7th grade at Rio Hondo in Mrs. Gurerro p.4 and we read dis 1 week ago and i almost cried

[jorgekluney]

@MrsMattewKnight011 If you're in 7th grade and reading this then that's very impressive! Good work!! It's a great poem. You should ask your teacher if you can read "Leaden Echo/ Golden Echo" by Gerard Manley Hopkins. It's another good one. Keep on reading them! It will do you much good.

I found out about this poem in the 10th grade..and i am way in college..I love this poem..it has a rhythm hard to make justice to in songs...i love when it says " i'll come to the by moon..." that part with the repetition..BEAUTIFUL.
