Robert Browning: Poems
Pied Piper of Hamelin
What sounds did the people hear before the rats appeared?
What sounds did the people hear before the rats appeared?
From the text:
19 With shrieking and squeaking
20 In fifty different sharps and flats.
107 You heard as if an army muttered;
108 And the muttering grew to a grumbling;
109 And the grumbling grew to a mighty rumbling;
110 And out of the houses the rats came tumbling.
