it is a book which has a poem in about this girl called mabbie this is what some of the book says " It was Mabbie without the grammar school gates.
And Mabbie was all of seven.
And Mabbie was cut from a chocolate bar.
And Mabbie thought life was heaven. The grammar school gates were the pearly gates,
For Willie Boone went to school.
When she sat by him in history class
Was only her eyes were cool. It was Mabbie without the grammar school gates
Waiting for Willie Boone.
Half hour after the closing bell!
He would surely be coming soon. Oh, warm is the waiting for joys, my dears!
And it cannot be too long.
Oh, pity the little poor chocolate lips
That carry the bubble of song! Out came the saucily bold Willie Boone.
It was woe for our Mabbie now.
He wore like a jewel a lemon-hued lynx
With sand-waves loving her brow. It was Mabbie alone by the grammar school gates.
Yet chocolate companions had she:
Mabbie on Mabbie with hush in the heart.
Mabbie on Mabbie to be.

In the ballad Lord Randal what is the significance of the word greenwood in stanza one?
according to the Scottish tradition the GREENWOOD was a magic place where there were the spirits of dead people. so it was a respected sacred wood where fairies and helves protected the entrance. lord randall did not respect the sacred wood and went in but he met a fairy disguised as his true love and was punished and poisoned
Why was lord randall poisoned?
The only thought that occurs to me, considering that his mother feels she needs to ask him about his bequests (he gives his mother his gold and silver), is that somehow the lover felt that since he had declared his love for her she would get his dough if he died ("I didn't know the brown and speckled eels were poison, honest!")
I think it's Don Juan which is 18 books long but I'm not sure.
