    There is also a book of poems by Stephen Crane called "The Black Riders," but glancing through it (see here: https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_Black_Riders_and_Other_Lines/njc3AAAAIAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&pg=PP7&printsec=frontcover) I see no connection
    with the Dylan song. The first little poem (of sixty-eight) goes like so:

    Black riders came from the sea.
    There was clang and clang of spear and shield,
    And clash and clash of hoof and heel,
    Wild shouts and the wave of hair
    In the rush upon the wind:
    Thus the ride of sin

    The only possible connection between these little poems and "Black Rider" is that the word "Black" occurs many times throughout them (not sure why).

    Reminds me somewhat of the poem "The Highwayman"

    It does. Lots of "black" in that poem too: black eyes, black hair, black cascade of perfume, black waves in the moonlight.
