Alice In Wonderland 1915 Kern

In a shady nook in the garden,
one long summer afternoon,
golden haired Alice fell fast asleep
while the bees hummed a lullaby tune,
and what Alice dreamed in the garden
was a marvelous dream indeed;
so a poet wrote Alice's dream in a book.
For old and young children to read!

I wish I could wander in wonderland,
don't you?
I wish I could meet all the people she met
don't you?
To that mad tea party
I'd love to go,
with all those wonderful guests we know,
I wish the White Rabbit would take my hand
and lead me to Wonderland!

I would love to meet the old Duchess,
and talk with the gossiping mouse,
hear the wise old remarks of the Dodo bird,
meet that puppy as big as a house,
and the Footman frog and the Footman fish,
and the whole of the Court Card group;
I would love the Mock Turtle
who wept and who sighed.
For fear he would end in the soup!

I wish I could wander in wonderland,
don't you?
I wish I could meet all the people she met,
don't you?
Oh it would be jolly to have a chat,
with the grinning, cheerfully, Cheshire cat,
I wish the Black Kitten would take my hand
and lead me to Wonderland!
I do, don't you?
I'm perfectly sure you do.
