    Moley the contrary female dragon

    The haystack in the floods. William Morris.

    Had she come all the way for this
    To part at last without a kiss
    Yea, had she borne the dirt and rain
    That her own eyes might see him slain
    Beside the haystack in the floods.....


    A long narrative poem that stuck since school.Too long to put here but she chooses her knights death before her own dishonour. Daft bat!!Very graphic and he has his throat cut before her eyes
    Its on google in full.


    My other fave also long.
    The traveller. Walter de la Mare

    Is there anybody there? said the traveller
    Knocking on the moonlit door
    While his horse in the silence
    Champed the grasses of the forests ferny floor.


    This one is eerie and conveys the silent house in the forest. makes you wonder why he was there and why no reply?/Also on google.
