I first heard it when my teacher read it out to my form group at the end of term in December 1988. We were the only class in school not allowed a Christmas party because the teacher didn't believe this should be allowed, so he read us a series of poems & stories, of which "The Highwayman" is the only one I remember. I liked it as it has a strong story and I've always had a fascination with highway robbers.
Not long after this, I saw the video to Fleetwood Mac's "Everywhere", which is inspired by "The Highwayman" poem. I've watched this on and off over the years & listened to the song countless times, so I guess this has kept the poem in my memory all this time.
It never occurred to me to re-read it. The only reason I have now done so is because the poem was featured in Wallis Peel's non-fiction book on highwaymen and highwaywomen called "Stand and Deliver".
I remembered a lot of it, including the outcome, because the "Everywhere" video reveals it, but this didn't spoil anything. It's short and to the point with a vivid narrative and a supernatural twist. ( )
