Alice dear what ails youB
Dazed and white and shakenC
Has the chill night numbed youB
Is it fright you have takenC

AliceD

-
Mother I am very wellE
I felt never betterA
Mother do not hold me soF
Let me write my letterA

MotherA
-
Sweet my dear what ails youB
-
AliceD
-
No but I am wellE
The night was cold and frostyG
There's no more to tellE
-
MotherA
-
Ay the night was frostyG
Coldly gaped the moonH
Yet the birds seemed twitteringI
Through green boughs of JuneH
-
Soft and thick the snow layJ
Stars danced in the skyI
Not all the lambs of May dayJ
Skip so bold and highI
-
Your feet were dancing AliceD
Seemed to dance on airK
You looked a ghost or angelL
In the starlight thereK
-
Your eyes were frosted starlightM
Your heart fire and snowF
Who was it said I love youB
-
AliceD
-
Mother let me goF
