He was a mystery, like death in disguise The moon, the only light in a sea of darkness The road he traveled entwined like an old dead tree My other half came trampling
He was lost in a world of desire Desire for me Creak.. glack, glack go his footsteps His velvety red jacket was a ravishing claret red
He had a certain contrast versus the inn If I knew what would happen on that very day I would of warned him to fray away Perhaps he would have stayed
That was the day I felt the end dawning, dawning, dawning... Then in the blink of an eye it went black It was peaceful however, quiet Then the gates of hell opened and away I went
This is a poem in the point of view of Bess the landlords daughter in the poem "The Highwayman" written by Alfred Noyes
