Lewis Carroll - Epilogue to Through the Looking Glass

A boat, beneath a sunny sky
Lingering onward dreamily
In 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 skies
Never 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 stream --
Lingering in the golden gleam --
Life what is it but a dream?

Poet: Lewis Carroll Poem: Epilogue to Through the Looking Glass Comment 1 of 1, added on July 2nd, 2005 at 1:55 PM. this poem is amazing, not only in style and skill, but also in truth. Few people know the true story of alice and the liddells, this poem seems to be Mr. Carroll's tribute to them and what they did. It is a beautifull and rare poem, stunning read aloud.
