A BOAT, BENEATH A SUNNY SKY
Lewis Carroll - 1832-1898
A boat, beneath a sunny skyLingering onward dreamilyIn an evening of July -
Children three that nestle near,Eager eye and willing ear,Pleased a simple tale to hear -
Long has paled that sunny sky:Echoes fade and memories die:Autumn frosts have slain July.
Still she haunts me, phantomwise,Alice moving under skiesNever seen by waking eyes.
Children yet, the tale to hear,Eager eye and willing ear,Lovingly shall nestle near.
In a Wonderland they lie,Dreaming as the days go by,Dreaming as the summers die:
Ever drifting down the streamLingering in the golden gleamLife, what is it but a dream ?
