What are the lyrics of The Ballad of John Colter?
(WikiAnswers' editing format is difficult. Maybe someone can put the 4-line stanzas together for me and separate them. Very frustrating format routine. Anyway, here it is, stratight from Fess Parker's rendition...) Ballad of John Colter John Colter was a trapper, And he knew the ways of game,
But it wasn't for his trappin' That he won immortal fame. He traveled up the Yellowstone And discovered Colter's Hell.
But it isn't of his geysers That my yarn is going to tell. (nosir!) Sing of the bravest mountain man
Sing of the strong and the fleet
Colter's courage was in his heart
And his speed was in his feet. John Colter knew the Blackfeet Claimed the land off to the west, But he said he'd do his trappin' Where the trappin it was best. He went and took his share of fur, Then started back to Fort Manuel. (Fess Parker pronounced it ) But he didn't get no warnin' Til he heard the Blackfeet yell. Sing of the bravest mountain man
Sing of the strong and the fleet
Colter's courage was in his heart
And his speed was in his feet. The Blackfoot chief said to his men, "This prisoner is so brave, We take his clothes, then turn him loose, With a chance his scalp to save." They set him loose without his clothes, Without his shoes and gun. His courage was his only hope, A race for his life to run. Their fastest runners after him, Their lances wavin' high, The knowledge pounding in his heart That he had to win or die. Sing of the bravest mountain man
Sing of the strong and the fleet
Colter's courage was in his heart
And his speed was in his feet. Well John Colter ran and ran, and he ran and he ran Like an antelope in fright. Straight across the cactus thickets Like an arrow in its flight. Lungs a-burstin' with the effort, Every muscle starts to scream. Six miles of endless runnin'… Suddenly there's a stream. Dives deep into the water, Breathin' through a hollow reed, Leavin Blackfoot runners baffled By the wonder of his speed. John Waited til the red men left, Then walked back to fort Manual, Three hundred miles of barefoot trail. Said he'd like to rest a spell. Sing of the bravest mountain man
Sing of the strong and the fleet
Colter's courage was in his heart
And his speed was in his feet.
- The number of stanzas or lines per stanza sometimes helps determine the poem's meaning.
- The meter. Is there a beat, rythym, rhyme scheme/pattern?
- The thematic structure. Does it have an introduction, a problem, or a situation? How does the plot develop? Is the problem explained any further? Is there a climax, conclusion, or solution to the problem? How so? Where in the poem is the introduction, problem, climax, resolution?
- What literary terms (similie, metaphor, rhyme, personification, assonance, alliteration, etc.) does the poet use? What effect do these techniques have on the people, things, ideas, and meanings of the poem?
- What is the poem about? How do the literary terms used help the speaker in the poem convey their message? How do the different parts or events in the poem contribute to the overall big picture (the meaning)?
Try to use this as a starter. The teacher is probably looking for more about meaning and not just literal structure of the words. Analyze its ideas and concepts or how they relate to the poet's message, and if they are symbolic of anything that has happened in the past (like Bible stories) or something that happened during the time the poet wrote that poem you're analyzing.
It's easy to analyze a poem. You already know how to.
1. Look for a beat. Is there a rhythm or a pattern?
2. Find the hidden meaning. Looking between the lines is a good technique.
3. Find the visual details and emotions.
You can put these together to analyze the main idea of a poem. Depending on what you're finding, you could just switch out these tips for others!

Can you hang a towel bar behind the door of a bathroom?
Sure, but make sure that there is protection for the wall behind it, so that the bar does not accidentally punch through the wall. However, if the door is a hollow door, I am not sure how much weight it will hold or how you would put in anchors, since the wood is not very thick. There was a towel bar on the wall behind a door in one house that I lived in and it worked okay.
When was the earliest robin hood ballad written and what was its scholarly title?
The earliest Robin Hood ballad in existence is "The Gest of Robin Hood," which I follow in my novel The Robin Hood Chronicles. It is undated, but the evidence is that it was written before 1450. There is a reference to Robin Hood ballads -- the names are not given -- in Langland's Piers Plowman, which was written in 1377, so there must have been some before that date.

Is Robin Hood in the time of the French Revolution?
No, the legend of Robin Hood goes back at least to the 1400's. Think about it, why would he be using a bow and arrow when the Brown Bess musket was readily available during the French Revolution. Some reference in that legend also speaks about Richard the Lionheart, which would put it into the time frame of the Third Crusade (1189 to 1192). Ballads do not require or mandate a specific time frame of course, it is only the lesson that matters.
What are the lyrics to the Ballad of the Jervis Bay?
THE BALLAD OF JERVIS BAY
Dunn Browning. Granville NSW
Screened from the light of day
On board the Jervis Bay
Forlornly stowed away,
Eight workless men
Sniffling the savoury stew
Served to the hungry crew
They feeling peckish too.
O'er the ship wandered
"Send out a warship quick!"
Back flashed the message slick,
Were the editors 'shick'?
How the press thundered.
"Trot out the hoary lies,
Dressed up in new disguise,
This ought to bulge their eyes -
Make it a wonder."
"See that the Bolshie shrinks"
Each scribbler nods and winks,
Working them up (between drinks)
Fables and slanders.
Oh! The wild charge they made,
On huge headlines displayed,
Even while bosses sprayed
Eight stowaways
How can the story die,
Tell how they trick and lie,
Up to the cloudy sky
Trusting subscribers

What is the cause of death of Richard Cory?
If you read the poem which it is a great one to read, the last set of sentences tells you how Richard Cory died.
So on we worked, and waited for the light,
And went without the meat, and cursed the bread;
And Richard Cory, one calm summer night,
Went home and put a bullet through his head.
Hope that helps..
