“The Highwayman” by Loreena McKennitt.
One of the aviators shot down and captured during Vietnam War had grown up with his parents asking him to say a long poem from memory at the family Thanksgiving Dinner. He had a wonderful memory. Poems like Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner and such. One of the poems was this one. It was written by Alfred Noyes. After he was a POW he shared the poems/songs by using the “tap code” from cell to cell to cell. Loreena sings the poem on YouTube.

If you know the story behind this hauntingly beautiful,
painfully bittersweet song, you’ll be forever committed to
the study of Dietrich Bonhoeffer—one of the greatest anti-
Nazi heroes of WW2.
