n the poem

The Highwayman by Alfred Noyes

VII

Tlot-tlot, in the frosty silence! Tlot-tlot, in the echoing night
Nearer he came and nearer! Her face was like a light!
Her eyes grew wide for a moment; she drew one last deep breath,
Then her finger moved in the moonlight,
Her musket shattered the moonlight,
Shattered her breast in the moonlight and warned him-with her death.

VIII
He turned; he spurred to the West; he did not know who stood
Bowed, with her head o'er the musket, drenched with her own red blood!
Not till the dawn he heard it, his face grew grey to hear
How Bess, the landlord's daughter,
The landlord's black-eyed daughter,
Had watched for her love in the moonlight, and died in the darkness there.

iI LOVE this poem!! And so I just LOVE this picture Wonderful work, just beautiful shading and overall mood is present, I get chills when I see it!

Say have you heard Loreena McKennitt's musical adaptation of the song? It's truly a beautiful piece of art and I suggest you go check it out

lol, stay alive pall... stay alive.......... cmon u gotta live.....

No i wont post it, no use of having it there. It was a cowboy portrait standing by a wall, with a sadist look in his eyes. Maybe in scraps someday. Its not a new thing for me to not put my work here. I have 50-60 works un-published, coz i think the time is not ripe yet to publish them
