Detailed explanation-1: -The first poem, “Paul Revere’s Ride, ” became a national favourite. Written in anapestic tetrameter meant to suggest the galloping of a horse, this folk ballad recalls a hero of the American Revolution and his famous “midnight ride” to warn the Americans about the impending British raid on Concord, Massachusetts.
Detailed explanation-2: -"A voice in the darkness, a knock at the door, / And a word that shall echo for evermore!” This line tells what happened the day after his ride, which is the day of the battle.
Detailed explanation-3: -Though based on historic events, the poem should be read as a myth or tale, not as a historical account. Many historians have dissected the poem since 1860 and compared it to Revere’s account of the ride in his own words and other historic evidence.
Detailed explanation-4: -"Paul Revere’s Ride” is an 1860 poem by American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow that commemorates the actions of American patriot Paul Revere on April 18, 1775, although with significant inaccuracies.
