Poem And Song Quote Game!!!
This is what...
This is what it sounds like. You choose a paragraph from a song or poem and post it here. Then the rest of us will guess what the quote comes from.
Just one thing: Say whether it is a poem or a song. I'll start.
This is a poem: "Twas brillig and the slithy toves, did gyre and gimble in the wabe. All mimsy were the borogoves, and the mome raths outgrabe."
Thanks, Violet (wishing myself across the world)

Jabberwocky, by whoever it's by (I think it's Lewis Carroll, but I could be wrong). I did that one for Poetry Out Loud this year.

Yeah, it's The Jabberwock by Lewis Caroll. I've had to memorize that poem for a play.

The Lady of Shallott?
(January 1, 2013 - 10:44 am)
Yes! You are correct! It is the Lady of Shalott. I love that poem! Tennyson based that poem on the story of The Lily Maid; Elaine of Astelot, which I DESPERATELY want to read! I found out about it from, yes, Anne of Green Gables. Your turn Gollum!

Come on, can nobody get this one?
(December 29, 2012 - 12:19 am)
I just gave one. I'm not allowed to guess.
(December 31, 2012 - 6:37 pm)
Oh darn, I didn't see this untill it was already guessed. I would have definitely got it, I have the whole poem memorized.
