Question

Life Is But a Dream

by Lewis Carroll


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 has 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'

Loving 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?


Which of these lines BEST helps to develop the theme that childhood is an enchanted time?
