The Mock Turtle's Song
Lewis Carroll
1832 to 1898
Beneath the waters of the sea
Are lobsters thick as thick can be-
They love to dance with you and me,
My own, my gentle Salmon!
CHORUS
Salmon, come up! Salmon, go down!
Salmon, come twist your tail around!
Of all the fishes of the sea
There's none so good as Salmon!
Lewis Carroll's The Mock Turtle's Song
I am busy working to bring Lewis Carroll's "The Mock Turtle's Song" to life through some unique musical arrangements and will have a full analysis of the poem here for you later.
In the meantime, I invite you to explore the poem's themes, structure, and meaning. You can also check out the gallery for other musical arrangements or learn more about Lewis Carroll's life and contributions to literature.
Check back soon to experience how "The Mock Turtle's Song" transforms when verse meets melody—a unique journey that makes poetry accessible, engaging, and profoundly moving in new ways.
