Seite 168 - A loaf of bread," the Walrus said, " Is what we chiefly need : Pepper and vinegar besides Are very good indeed — Now, if you're ready, Oysters dear, We can begin to feed." " But not on us," the Oysters cried, Turning a little blue. "After such kindness, that would be A dismal thing to do ! " "The night is fine,
Seite 66 - They are only one times one. 0 moon! in the night I have seen you sailing And shining so round and low; You were bright! ah, bright! but your light is failing— You are nothing now but a bow. You moon, have you done something wrong in heaven, That God has hidden your face? I hope if you have you will soon be forgiven, And shine again in your place.
