Back in high school, we used to back poetry up with a popular tune that suits it to make it more lively and so that the students could memorize it better. Then we would sing it like a play on stage, reminds me of Emily Dickinson's, There is no Frigate Like a Book.
There is no Frigate like a Book (1286)
BY EMILY DICKINSON
There is no Frigate like a Book
To take us Lands away
Nor any Coursers like a Page
Of prancing Poetry –
This Traverse may the poorest take
Without oppress of Toll –
How frugal is the Chariot
That bears the Human Soul –
This was the tune I remembered that was put on this poem:
