Lewis Carroll
A tale begun in other days, When summer suns were glowing - A simple chime, that served to time The rhythm of your rowing - Whose echoes live in memory yet, Though envious years would say 'forget.
Lewis Carroll

Lewis Carroll
I think I should understand that better, if I had it written down: but I can't quite follow it as you say it.
Lewis Carroll
