Alice In Wonderland
What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Child of the pure unclouded brow
2
And dreaming eyes of wonder!
3
Though time be fleet, and I and thou
4
Are half a life asunder,
5
Thy loving smile will surely hail
6
The lovegift of a fairy-tale.
7
I have not seen thy sunny face,
8
Nor heard thy silver laughter;
9
No thought of me shall find a place
10
In thy young life's hereafter-
11
Enough that now thou wilt not fail
12
To listen to my fairy-tale.
13
A tale begun in other days,
14
When summer suns were glowing-
15
A simple chime, that served to time
16
The rhythm of our rowing-
17
Whose echoes live in memory yet,
18
Though envious years would say 'forget'.
19
Come, hearken then, ere voice of dread,
20
With bitter tidings laden,
21
Shall summon to unwelcome bed
22
A melancholy maiden!
23
We are but older children, dear,
24
Who fret to find our bedtime near.
25
Without, the frost, the blinding snow,
26
The stormwind's moody madness-
27
Within, the firelight's ruddy glow
28
And childhoods nest of gladness.
29
The magic words shall hold thee fast:
30
Thou shalt not heed the raving blast.
31
And though the shadow of a sigh
32
May tremble through the story,
33
For 'happy summer daysÒ‘ gone by,
34
And vanish'd summer glory-
35
It shall not touch with breath of bale
36
The pleasance of our fairy-tale.
