Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

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?

Life is but a dream, was the only thing I got out of the book. I totally admit that I didn't get it half the time =_= It's probably about the innocence and wild imagination of childhood or something along those lines. I guess Alice's Adventures in Wonderland along with Through the Looking-Glass is not such an easy read after all.  It's like an extended version of the Jabberwocky to me, except I could read and understand more words XD It's simply too deep for me in the literary sense, I think I would like to stick to the Disney adaptation thank you very much =P
