I love the Highwayman, but that is not an epic poem. There is not a declared American epic poem.
My favorite was Beowulf.

Toss up between The Iliad and The Odyssey by Homer.

Milton's "Paradise Lost" was great (mostly because my prof made us think of how comic it was to imagine Satan and all the other banished angels implanted in the floor of Hell after their fall... lol); also, "The Iliad" was good, and "Ulysses" is a good story... they're all good stories, but I'm not much of a poetry reader, so if I can help it, I read the story in prose form.

The Odyssey by Homer, for sheer entertainment value.

"The Aenid" by Virgil. I took four years of Latin in High School and we had to translate parts, it's an amazing story. It follows in with Homer's Oddyssey and Illiad.

The Highway Man - We did it as a play in grade 7 and I can still remember it.

"Marriage of heaven and hell" by William Blake; it reflects so much that I belive.
