I appreciate this old poem increasingly over the years.
Just throwing this in with the hope others could as well.

Thanks for sharing. Very descriptive word pictures. When did you first experience this poem?

I hadn't thought about Stephen Vincent Benét in a long time. I wonder if schools teach his works anymore?

It was during my nightmarish high school years I read the poem. (Nightmarish in retrospect, tsk tsk.) You ask when I experienced this poem? Dang, lady, nothing like that, but getting there.
I am certain it has been replaced by the latest I-Phone games in schools. Ah well.

Sorry--maybe I should have asked when you were exposed to it or when you read it.
