Have you ever wanted to read a story with love, but tragedy? A bandit who steals the heart of a young girl’s heart, but then the British army comes and gags the girl so she cannot warn the oncoming theive of the danger, she then shoots herself with one of the redcoats muskets, warning the bandit he turns around but still loses his life. This is the story that takes place in The Highwayman by Alfred Noyes, in my opinion I think that this is a great poem, a masterpiece, really. In the following paragraphs I will tell you why I think this.
Noyes does a fantastic job of using the poetic element of imagery. He does such a great job that at nearly any point in the poem you can imagine the scene, in the first stanza you get a very good first impression
