I remember my school teacher reading us The Highwayman, which has always stayed with me, even though I know very littles of Noyes's other poems. It was illustrated in picture book format in 1981 by Charles Keeping, one of the most distinctive children's book illustrators of this century and won the Kate Greenaway medal that year, something I've had close ties to in my professional life (well until this year's fun and games). Not that you probably wanted to know that, but little known facts make the world go round, don't they?
I see your mood says sick - hope you feel better soon!
