Alfred Noyes - The Highwayman' - poem

[MeepMeepVroom]

Loreena McKennitt captures the beauty of this poem to perfection. If you haven't heard it, look it up, you won't be sorry.

[zahra7862010]

I like dis but bess is pritty

[EmmaBee12]

I have to do a 5 para literal analysis on this ... its good

[SueMyChin]

I think this to be a perfect reading. The slower readings are good if it's the first time you hear a poem, but if you already know it I prefer a quick reading like this. Thank you.



[cammankiss1995]

I study this at school

[PuppyLove001]

This is my all time favorite poem. I too learned it in 7th grade. It inspired me to write and now I'm going to school to write professionally.

[PrinceMontrey]

@PuppyLove001 If you love this poem you should check out "Everywhere" by Fleetwood Mac. It's a music video that accompanies this poem.

[elainepul]

I am old and I still love this poem,one of the best,must have become famous lately because,no one taught this when I was in school,found it by accident in a book of poems I bought when I was a kid

[Flickflag]

I listened to this in my 7th grade language arts class. When i heard of this i literally thought it was the best peom ever. Great- Just Great. I love it. Im 15 but this song needs to be told to the younger crowd. But the version we listened to was alot better than this

Because at 6:09 it talks about bess and the highwayman being ghosts. This Epic spook music played in the background. A sad violin and whistling and tree rustling and it was epic. Like teh record was even playing. awesome poem

[MsRetteMich]

Notice that it's a three beat poem? If you read it right, it sounds like a horse galloping?

[mahogonywhisper]

Such an evocative voice!

[Kayl3ighFulbrook]

Bess.. The B-E-ST Character Ever. No Word Of A Lie.

[shadowedwolfy]

I heard of this poem from a game and when I first read it, I fell in love.

[RinEditionB]

I remember being read this as a child, and feeling so bad for everyone involved. It was only until later that I understood the redcoats being there and all that.

[oye2a2000]

I hate dramatic reading, the poem is powerful enough as it is

[Edith4Eva]

Did anyone see the version with Rik Mayall which was on BBC children's TV some years ago? It was f***ing brilliant! It's never been repeated (AFAIK) and is unavailable anywhere. If there was a "Desert Island TV Programmes" it would be one of my choices.

[jjnicolaou]

We've just finished reading this at school.. Its a good ending

[GRACE4CALLUM]
