The Skeleton in Armor

"The Skeleton in Armor" was a poem written by Henry Longfellow about a viking skeleton discovered in Massachusetts.  Longfellow wrote a fictitious poem about this viking in "The Skeleton in Armor."  I personally enjoyed reading this poem.  The ryhme scheme made the poem have an interesting beat that kept my interest throughout the poem.  The story behind the poem was also entertaining.  I enjoyed reading about the viking lifestyle portrayed by Longfellow.  It had an amusing yet serious note behind it.
