This is a traditional ballad which dates back at least as far as 1611. So it is contemporary with Shakespeare e.g. 'Macbeth&'. Pupils could write a modern version with the talking crows, or poems to lament the mysterious dead knight. GCSE students could compare different interpretations of the imagery. See my Lesson Ideas for more things to do. Enjoy using the song as a resource for lessons & concerts! This is my own song é recording so I own the copyright. See base of lyric sheet for details.

Thank you! I am doing a middle ages unit and I just listened to about 15 versions of this song. Yours is the best! I can't wait to teach it to my 6th graders. Your lesson plan has some good ideas, too!
