looking for songs inspired by literature

[Mike Powers <Mikepow22@AOL.COM>]

I am a high school English teacher and I am looking to create a unit using
modern music that was inspired by literature.  For example, the Simon and
Garfunkel song "Richard Cory," is inspired by the poem of the same name, and
many Bruce Springsteen songs are inspired by Steinbeck and Flannery O'Connor.


If anyone has some examples of songs and the literary work that inspired it,
I'd be very grateful.
