THE WISHING-STONE, by MARGARET SACKVILLE Poet's Biography First Line: Before the road is chosen Last Line: Ungranted every one! Subject(s): Wishes | |||
BEFORE the road is chosen, Which I must tread alone, I'll climb at early morning To yonder Wishing-Stone. Over the hills at cock-crow, By hill-ways stiff and stark, Whilst the new day comes peeping Faint through the early dark; And wish:—that all my wishing May quickly be undone, And all my granted wishes Ungranted every one! | 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.
