WISHES, by H. W. BANKS First Line: A village cart and a pretty girl Last Line: The happiest man alive. Subject(s): Wishes | ||||||||
A VILLAGE cart and a pretty girl, A ride o'er a hardened road, A pleasant chat and a stolen kiss, With your arm placed a la mode. A royal day with a smiling sky, A trim little horse to drive, And a whispered "Yes" that makes you just The happiest man alive. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...O TO BE A DRAGON by MARIANNE MOORE FOUNTAIN IN AVIGNON by LAURE-ANNE BOSSELAAR THE HOUR BETWEEN DOG AND WOLF: 1.
