What are the four metaphors and two similies in the poem, "The Highwayman"?

Similes and metaphors are literary devices called figures of speech that compare two unlike or dissimilar things to make a description more vivid or visual for the reader.  A simile uses the words “like” or “as” to make the comparison, a metaphor doesn’t use “like” or “as”.

Here’s a list of similes and metaphors from throughout the poem, “The Highwayman”  by Alfred Noyes.

The wind was a torrent of darkness among the gusty trees.  (metaphor) 

The moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas.  (metaphor) 

The road was a ribbon of moonlight over the purple moor,   (metaphor)

 His eyes were hollows of madness, his hair like mouldy hay,  (metaphor/simile)

 Dumb as a dog he listened, and he heard the robber say—(simile)

 His face burnt like a brand (simile)

 When the road was a gypsy’s ribbon, looping the purple moor (metaphor)  

 Her face was like a light. (simile)

 Down like a dog on the highway (simile)
