Song Information:

This is an instrumental setting of the acrostic poem at the end of Through the Looking Glass, and What Alice Found There.
If you feel like reading (or even singing) along, you ought to take into account that there is one refrain's worth of introduction, as well as one instrumental verse at the end.
The lo-fi version is a slightly simpler mix.
I may record a version with words one of these days.

Song Lyrics:

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 had 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?
