ArtistThe wind was a torrent of darkness among the gusty trees. The moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas. The road was a ribbon of moonlight over the purple moor, And the highwayman came riding. He’d a French cocked-hat on his forehead, a bunch of lace at his chin, A coat of the claret velvet, and breeches of brown doe-skin. They fitted with never a wrinkle. His boots were up to the thigh. And he rode with a jewelled twinkle, His pistol butts a-twinkle, His rapier hilt a-twinkle, under the jewelled sky.
A dark, gothic-style illustration depicts a dashing cavalier with long dark hair, wearing a purple and gold embroidered coat, cream waistcoat, and brown breeches, riding a rearing black horse with an ornate bridle and saddle. He looks towards the left with a serious expression beneath a black tricorn hat adorned with a white feather. In the background, a full moon shines brightly through swirling storm clouds, illuminating a large sailing ship suspended in the sky. A bare, twisted tree with exposed roots stands prominently on the left. A winding dirt road snakes through a desolate, dark purple landscape dotted with sparse vegetation, leading towards distant hills and mountains under a stormy night sky. The scene is illuminated by soft moonlight, casting long shadows.
