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,
Lovingly 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?

Aquel julio ya lejano
Lento el bote iba avanzando
Indolente al sol dorado.
Con tres tiernas pasajeras
Escuchando un cuento atentas
Pendientes de cada letra.
Lejos queda ya esa tarde;
El recuerdo apenas late.
Ahora es invierno implacable.
