"Bold ebony outlaw - grave and wise!"
For many a good green year
Hast thou withstood
By dangerous planted field
And haunted wood~
All devices of thine enemies
Gleam thy only bread
With stolen watchful eyes!
Come ill or good,
Lightsome days thou might see,
My fair feater'd Robin Hood~
Thou make many a' jest
Of outland-boundaries,
So take all thou may'st
And never count it crime
To rob the greatest robber
Of the Earth;
As from weak-visioned,
Self-lauding men whose worth
Is deemed and captured by thine ear
.. Lest your sable-eyes!
Bide thou, thy truest times;
Thou know'st far more
Of Nature's lore than we~
..And know evermore,
You "shrill outlaw of eternity",
That her wide and heartened sky
Shall toll evermore for thee!
B

A Poe inspired write. This is very well penned and I loved the descriptive detail of the black, sable eyed raven that storms the skies. You did a mighty good job on this Billy~

I've been meaning to comment here, Billy, since I first read this piece. I read it initially, though, in an era of wordlessness. I am glad I did not neglect to make my way back here again now that I seem to have found my words again (well... at least... some of them, I suppose).
A reader could toil here forever mining nuggets from this piece without really ever reaching its core, I suspect. I was half inclined to point to lines that I particularly liked (the opening four, the final stanza...), but isolating any part of this without reference to the remainder would seem to do the entirety of it a disservice. I'll say only this then, I guess... what lies beneath the whole of this is palpable. I do not think I can name it... but I can feel it. Moreoever, it seems to stay with me even once I've moved away from the page.
Thought provoking to say the least...

Damn Billy how do you look at yourself in the mirror?
I should have caught you immediately with this one because it is a work I am familiar with.
FRAUD, FRAUD, FRAUD, YOU ARE A DAMN FRAUD!!!!!!
