“The sun was shining on the sea, \

#h(1em)Shining with all his might: \

He did his very best to make \

#h(1em)The billows smooth and bright--- \

And this was odd, because it was \

#h(1em)The middle of the night.

The moon was shining sulkily, \

#h(1em)Because she thought the sun \

Had got no business to be there \

#h(1em)After the day was done--- \

The sea was wet as wet could be, \

#h(1em)The sands were dry as dry. \

You could not see a cloud, because \

#h(1em)No cloud was in the sky: \

No birds were flying over head--- \

#h(1em)There were no birds to fly.

The Walrus and the Carpenter \

#h(1em)Were walking close at hand; \

They wept like anything to see \

#h(1em)Such quantities of sand: \

‘If this were only cleared away,' \

Do you suppose,' the Walrus said, \

‘I doubt it,' said the Carpenter, \

We cannot do with more than four, \

The eldest Oyster looked at him. \

#h(1em)But never a word he said: \

The eldest Oyster winked his eye, \

#h(1em)And shook his heavy head--- \

Meaning to say he did not choose \

#h(1em)To leave the oyster-bed.

But four young oysters hurried up, \

#h(1em)All eager for the treat: \

Their coats were brushed, their faces washed, \

#h(1em)Their shoes were clean and neat--- \

And this was odd, because, you know, \

#h(1em)They hadn't any feet.

Four other Oysters followed them, \

#h(1em)And yet another four; \

And thick and fast they came at last, \

#h(1em)And more, and more, and more--- \

All hopping through the frothy waves, \

#h(1em)And scrambling to the shore.

The Walrus and the Carpenter \

#h(1em)Walked on a mile or so, \

And then they rested on a rock \

#h(1em)Conveniently low: \

And all the little Oysters stood \

#h(1em)And waited in a row.

‘The time has come,' the Walrus said, \

Of shoes---and ships---and sealing-wax--- \

#h(1em)Of cabbages---and kings--- \

And why the sea is boiling hot--- \

For some of us are out of breath, \

‘No hurry!' said the Carpenter. \

#h(1em)They thanked him much for that.

‘A loaf of bread,' the Walrus said, \

Pepper and vinegar besides \

#h(1em)Are very good indeed--- \

Now if you're ready Oysters dear, \

#h(1em)We can begin to feed.'

#h(1em)A dismal thing to do!' \

I wish you were not quite so deaf--- \

After we've brought them out so far, \

#h(1em)And made them trot so quick!' \

With sobs and tears he sorted out \

#h(1em)Those of the largest size. \

Holding his pocket handkerchief \

#h(1em)Before his streaming eyes.

Shall we be trotting home again?' \

And that was scarcely odd, because \

#h(1em)They'd eaten every one.”
