Remember: Poems are written in lines and stanzas, with or without rhyme, showing strong emotions and using figurative language

Robin Hood Robin Hood is an outlaw bold Under the greenwood tree; Bird, nor stag, nor morning air Is more at large than he.

They sent against him twenty men, Who joined him laughing- eyed; They sent against him thirty more, And they remained beside.

All the stoutest of the train, That grew in Gamelyn wood, Whether they came with these or not, Are now with Robin Hood.

And not a soul in Locksley town Would speak him an ill word; The friars raged; but no man's tongue, Nor even feature stirred;

Except among a very few Who dined in the Abbey halls; And then with a sigh bold Robin knew His true friends from his false.

There was Roger the monk, that used to make All monkery his glee; And Midge, on whom Robin had never turned His face but tenderly;

With one or two, they say, besides, Lord! that in this life's dream Men should abandon one true thing, That would abide with them.

We cannot bid our strength remain, Our cheeks continue round; We cannot say to an aged back, Stoop not towards the ground;

We cannot bid our dim eyes see Things as bright as ever; Nor tell our friends, though friends from youth, That they'll forsake us never:

But we can say, I never will, Friendship, fall off from thee; And, oh sound truth and old regard, Nothing shall part us three. James Henry Leigh Hunt

Why is Robin Hood called an outlaw? He breaks the rules of the king by robbing from the rich to give money to the poor.

What happens when the king sends men to capture Robin Hood? He is able to escape.

What does the poem say about friendship? True friends are loyal and true.

Thank you and I’ll see you next time.
