Explore "By Coach" by Sarah Noble Ives on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
We're traveling hard and fast to-day,- / Jimmy and Alice and me- / Bowling along on the Shining Way, / With a royal coach and three.
We laugh at the folk who are passing by, / Dragging their weary feet / Deep in the dust that our whizzing wheels / Have raised in the flying street.
Fields and forests flit out of sight; / And if all goes just as we planned / We'll travel on till we reach the bars / At the entrance to Fairy Land.
And what is the coach on our lordly quest? / And where are the foaming three? / Why, the coach is the dump-cart, and the rest- / Just Jimmy and Alice and me.
