I WISH.
I wish my name was Gwendoline, Or Rose, or Y iolet-Pearl, I wish I was a princess, And not a little girl. I wish I had a, lacy gown, A train with lovely sweep. All fringed with ostrich feathers About nine inches deep. Td.love to wear around my neck, Six strings of creamy pearls, And a comb of gold and ivory. Upon my hunched-up curls" ’ Rut it s hard to be a princess, Pretending on my own Y\ hen niv gown is only linen And my name is only Joan. —Joan Scarlett.
