The Highwayman


Until at last, serene and proud, In all the splendour of her light, She walks the terraces of cloud, Supreme as Empress of the Night. by olive~moving house, away for now.



The wind was a torrent of darkness among the gusty trees,
The moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas,
The road was a ribbon of moonlight over the purple moor,
And the highwayman came riding--
Riding--riding,
The highwayman came riding up to the old inn door.

~Alfred Noyes, "The Highwayman"
