Dreamland Poem by Lewis Carroll

Poem Part 1:
When midnight mists are creeping, And all the land is sleeping, Around me tread the mighty dead, And slowly pass away. Lo, warriors, saints, and sages, From out the vanished ages, With solemn pace and reverend face Appear and pass away. The blaze of noonday splendour, The twilight soft and tender, May charm the eye: yet they shall die, Shall die and pass away.

VERSE
Coloring the stars I find in nature
Wonder for how long I’ve been bellow
All these trees and everything around me
Have survived the pain survived the war

CHORUS
I see everything so closely
the time has passed and mostly
erased all life we’ll find for long
in the dreamland

VERSE
Coloring the stars I find in nature
Wonder for how long I’ve been bellow
All these trees and everything around me
Have survived the pain survived the war

CHORUS
I see everything so closely
the time has passed and mostly
erased all life we’ll find for long
in the dreamland

BRIDGE
The twilight soft and tender
won’t be a good way to stop what’s coming now
If you close your eyes in splendor
I know you’ll find…

Poem Part 2:
But here, in Dreamland's centre, No spoiler's hand may enter, These visions fair, this radiance rare, Shall never pass away. I see the shadows falling, The forms of old recalling; Around me tread the mighty dead, And slowly pass away.

VERSE
Looking for the stars I’d find in nature
Now I see I’ve been here for so long
All these people always were around me
We survived the pain survived the war

Even though we don’t know how to stop the rain
We do know how to use its growth
Now I know that everything around me
Will not last all the time
there’s in this world

OUTRO
Just in the dreamland
Will last for long
In the dreamland
