Alice was walking beside the White Knight in Looking Glass Land	A
	-
'You are sad ' the Knight said in an anxious tone 'let me sing you a song to comfort you '	-
	-
'Is it very long ' Alice asked for she had heard a good deal of poetry that day	B
	-
'It's long ' said the Knight 'but it's very very beautiful Everybody that hears me sing it	C
either it brings tears to their eyes or else '	-
	-
'Or else what ' said Alice for the Knight had made a sudden pause	D
	-
'Or else it doesn't you know The name of the song is called 'Haddocks' Eyes ''	-
	-
'Oh that's the name of the song is it ' Alice said trying to feel interested	E
	-
'No you don't understand ' the Knight said looking a little vexed 'That's what the name	F
is called The name really is 'The Aged Aged Man ''	-
	-
'Then I ought to have said 'That's what the song is called' ' Alice corrected herself	G
	-
'No you oughtn't that's another thing The song is called 'Ways and Means' but that's only	H
what it's called you know '	-
	-
'Well what is the song then ' said Alice who was by this time completely bewildered	I
	-
'I was coming to that ' the Knight said 'The song really is 'A sitting On a Gate' and the	J
tune's my own invention '	-
	-
So saying he stopped his horse and let the reins fall on its neck then slowly beating time	K
with one hand and with a faint smile lighting up his gentle foolish face he began	L
	-
I'll tell thee everything I can	L
There's little to relate	M
I saw an aged aged man	L
A sitting on a gate	M
'Who are you aged man ' I said	N
' And how is it you live '	-
And his answer trickled through my head	N
like water through a sieve	O
	-
He said 'I look for butterflies	P
That sleep among the wheat	Q
I make them into mutton pies	P
And sell them in the street	Q
I sell them unto men ' he said	N
'Who sail on stormy seas	R
And that's the way I get my bread	N
A trifle if you please '	-
	-
But I was thinking of a plan	L
To dye one's whiskers green	S
And always use so large a fan	L
That they could not be seen	S
So having no reply to give	O
To what the old man said	N
I cried 'Come tell me how you live '	-
And thumped him on the head	N
	-
His accents mild took up the tale	T
He said 'I go my ways	U
And when I find a mountain rill	V
I set it in a blaze	U
And thence they make a stuff they call	W
Rowland's Macassar Oil	X
Yet twopence halfpenny is all	W
They give me for my toil '	-
	-
	-
But I was thinking of a way	B
To feed one's self on batter	Y
And so go on from day to day	B
Getting a little fatter	Y
I shook him well from side to side	Z
Until his face was blue	A2
'Come tell me how you live ' I cried	Z
'And what it is you do '	-
	-
He said 'I hunt for haddocks' eyes	P
Among the heather bright	B2
And work them into waistcoat buttons	C2
In the silent night	B2
And these I do not sell for gold	D2
Or coin of silvery shine	E2
But for a copper halfpenny	E2
And that will purchase nine	E2
	-
'I sometimes dig for buttered rolls	F2
Or set limed twigs for crabs	G2
I sometimes search for grassy knolls	G2
For wheels of hansom cabs	G2
And that's the way' he gave a wink	H2
'By which I get my wealth	I2
And very gladly will I drink	H2
Your Honour's noble health '	-
	-
I heard him then for I had just	J2
Completed my design	E2
To keep the Menai Bridge from rust	J2
By boiling it in wine	E2
I thanked him much for telling me	H
The way he got his wealth	I2
But chiefly for the wish that he	H
Might drink my noble health	I2
	-
And now if e'er by chance I put	K2
My fingers into glue	A2
Or madly squeeze a right hand foot	K2
Into a left hand shoe	A2
Or if I drop upon my toe	L2
A very heavy weight	M
I weep for it reminds me so	L2
Of that old man I used to know	L2
Whose look was mild whose speech was slow	L2
Whose hair was whiter than the snow	L2
Whose face was very like a crow	L2
With eyes like cinders all aglow	L2
Who seemed distracted with his woe	L2
Who rocked his body to and fro	L2
And muttered mumblingly and low	L2
As if his mouth were full of dough	L2
Who snorted like a buffalo	L2
That summer evening long ago	L2
A sitting on a gate	M
	-
	-
As the Knight sang the last words of the ballad he gathered up the reins and turned his horse's head along the road by which they had come	M2
