Summary/Explanation

Robert Browning's poem,
'The Pied Piper of Hamelin' is a children's story in the form of a poem. It
tells of a story of the town of Hamelin that was overrun with rats. The Pied
Piper comes to Hamelin and tells the Mayor that he will get rid of the rats for
'a thousand guilders'. The Mayor agrees and with the help of his flute and
magic, the Pied Piper leads the rats down to the river where they all drown.
The townsfolk of Hamelin are delighted. They forget to pay the Pied Piper for
his work leaving the Pied Piper in a revengeful mood. He lures, just like he
did with the rats, the children of the town to the top of a mountain where
they miraculously disappear. When the Piper reaches a nearby mountain, a
magic portal opens and all the children disappear with him into it.
One boy, whose lame foot
prohibited him from keeping up, was thus left behind. He remains sad and
distressed the rest of his days for not having glimpsed whatever promise lay
in the piper’s song
