Alfred Noyes (16 September 1880 – 25 June 1958 / Wolverhamton)

class as part of a mandatory assignment back in 1986. All I can say after reading it again for the first time in 24 years is...wow. I can't believe I did it. And after all these years, the only line I was able to recall from this poem was 'Her face was like a light'. Such wasted potential.

This is a great poem.However a few of the words are incorrect unfortunately.

An unforgettable teacher read this unforgettable poem to me when I was eleven years old in England. The profoundness of it struck me in a way that I never forgot it. At 73 years of age, it is still my favorite poem with a timeless impact.

In class, we are focusing on this poem in our L.A. books. My teacher loves this poem/story about a highwayman.

Salute to Miss Emma Royal, who taught us this fine poem at Daggett Jr. High, Fort Worth, TX,8th grade,1958. I can still hear her inimitable voice intoning all those image-rich words.

This is a great poem Ihave worked on it this week and made a preformence to show th the class

., this poem is a very nice poem.i have been reading this for years now and it makes me cry.LOL.this poem shows that if you love someone you would do anything for her or him even if you are in an illicit affair.hehe dot was here!

As we discuss this poem, it is really an unbelievable doings just for the sake of love.....because the girl who named as Bess and the highwayman really fight for their love even though they knew that it was a forbidden love that the father of the girl don't want the guy to be with his daughter......imagine how hurt is was for the boy...and what they did is really can make you inspire and feel that is a true love, ....that they both died for their love and they mean to do it, for the 2nd and the no ending life......: =)

The Highway Man shows that if you love someone you'd do anything for them. I wish all boys would do the for a girl... Doesn't work that way.

: (

Although the two lovers perish in a very crucial death but they're love for each other is an everlasting pledge.As I finish reading the poem I was touched by the highwayman's death it was courage and love that gave him the power to keep going on. The highwayman is a man of action because he truly agree his promise to the girl.Maybe love is not found in words but it is found in the way you define it. ^_^ Haheha.! Werty was here.!
