A mid-length narrative poem by Robert Browning detailing the adventures of Childe Roland ("Childe" being a medieval term for a youth preparing for knighthood) as he seeks the Dark Tower, a quest which has already killed many of his compatriots.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The poem is told from Roland's perspective, and is both grim and dream-like, with sudden unexplained shifts in scene and a deeply portentous aura surrounding almost everything the narrator sees.The poem was inspired by a line from William Shakespeare's King Lear, and, in turn, inspired Stephen King's The Dark Tower series. | |

Ambiguous Ending | |
| Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came / int_42215dce | comment |
Ambiguous Ending: Childe Roland apparently reaches the Dark Tower at the end of the poem. But what happens to him next is left entirely up to the reader's imagination. Roland appears to expect his own demise, though. | |

Tall Poppy Syndrome: One scene Roland passes through is personified thus, with the weeds themselves demanding that none of them be raised above the others. | |
