The Walrus and the Carpenter

by Lewis Carroll

　　"The sun was shining on the sea,

　　 Shining with all his might:

　　He did his very best to make

　　 The billows smooth and bright—

　　And this was odd, because it was

　　 The middle of the night.

　　The moon was shining sulkily,

　　 Because she thought the sun

　　Had got no business to be there

　　 After the day was done—

　　'It's very rude of him,' she said,

　　 'To come and spoil the fun!'

　　The sea was wet as wet could be,

　　 The sands were dry as dry.

　　You could not see a cloud, because

　　 No cloud was in the sky:

　　No birds were flying overhead—

　　 There were no birds to fly.
