Robert Browning wrote "The Pied Piper of Hamelin" in 1842. It is a famous poem based on the legend of the Pied Piper who lured away the rats from a town and then the children when the townspeople refused to pay him for his services.
The town related to the Pied Piper legend is Hamelin in Germany. According to the story, the Pied Piper was hired by the town to rid them of rats, but when the town refused to pay him, he led away their children by playing his magical pipe.
Ballads are considered to be narrative poetry so I guess the answer to your question is...yes!
Not necessarily. It depends on the subject of the poem. 'The Pied Piper of Hamelin' is fiction, but 'The Charge of the Light Brigade' is non-fiction.
Willy is a young boy in the story 'The Pied Piper of Hamelin' who is lost with the other children when they follow the Pied Piper out of town. He is one of the children who disappear and never return.
The folk tale of the Pied Piper of Hamelin (Der Rattenfänger von Hameln) is more than 700 years old. Retellers include:Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, who included a reference to it in his drama Faust (1808)Jakob and Wilhelm Grimm, who set down their version of the tale in their Deutsche Sagen (German Legends) in 1816Robert Browning , who wrote a poem which was based on the Grimms' story and published in 1842
The summary is that there were rats attacking in Hamelin as the Pied Piper came to save Hamelin from those filthy rats so the mayor promised to give him 50 thousand gold coins! when he finished his job, he went to collect his reward but the mayor said no and then he took all the children with him in a cave and now no one knows what happened to those kids!
"Pied" in the dictionary means wearing or having a two-colored coat. In the Grimm's fairy tale of the Pied Piper, he was pictured as wearing a multi-colored outfit. In Robert Browning's poem, the piper is described as: "And in did come the strangest figure! His queer long coat from heel to head Was half of yellow and half of red,..."
"The sun is shining bright, Birds chirping in delight, Nature's beauty all around, Happiness in every sound."
"Pied Beauty" was written in 1877 by Gerard Manley Hopkins
