The Jabberwocky

(from Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There, 1872)
| 'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves | |
| Did gyre and gimble in the wabe; | |
| All mimsy were the borogoves, | |
| And the mome raths outgrabe. | |
| "Beware the Jabberwock, my son! | |
| The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! | |
| Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun | |
| The frumious Bandersnatch!" | |
| He took his vorpal sword in hand: | |
| Long time the manxome foe he sought -- | |
| So rested he by the Tumtum tree, | |
| And stood awhile in thought | |
| And as in uffish thought he stood, | |
| The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame, | |
| Came whiffling through the tulgey wood, | |
| And burbled as it came! | |
| One, two! One, two! and through and through | |
| The vorpal blade went snicker-snack! | |
| He left it dead, and with its head | |
| He went galumphing back. | |
| "And hast thou slain the Jabberwock? | |
| Come to my arms, my beamish boy! | |
| O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!" | |
| He chortled in his joy. | |
| 'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves | |
| Did gyre and gimble in the wabe; | |
| All mimsy were the borogoves, | |
| And the mome raths outgrabe. | |
