How many similes are in the highway man poem?

The poem "The Highwayman," written by Alfred Noyes, contains several similes. Here are a few examples of similes from the poem:

"The moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas"

"The wind was a torrent of darkness among the gusty trees"

"The highwayman came riding, riding--

Up to the old inn-door"

"Her face was a mask of terror, blanched as a white sheet"

"The moon like a ghostly galleon rose through the misty skies"

These comparisons using "like" or "as" create vivid imagery and enhance the poetic atmosphere of the poem.
