あくむのおわり | The End of a Nightmare

何時ですか？
ふしぎのくにはおちゃの時間です。
アリスは三時にのみます。
パーティーは今からえいえんにまでです。

今何時ですか？
今アリスの時間におきます。
おれのむすめ
きみのあくむはこえている今からえいえんにまでです。

What time is it?
It is tea time in Wonderland.
Alice drinks at 3 o’clock.
The party is from now till forever.

What time is it now?
Now is Alice’s time to wake up.
My daughter
Your nightmare is over from now till forever.

_{Notes: This is my first time writing a poem in pure Japanese. I practiced what I learned in class, though I’m not sure if this is 100% correct because I researched some of the Japanese words I used here on Google and Yahoo. Feel free to correct any mistakes. I’ll gladly appreciate it. Oh yeah, I used ore (おれ) and kimi (きみ) instead of watashi (わたし) and anata (あなた) respectively because I wanted to make it clear that a guy (maybe Alice’s father) was speaking. Oh and since I’ve learned some Kanji kanas, I replaced the Hiragana kanas with them! [Edit (7/23/2015)]: I’m gonna keep updating this if ever I learn new things.}

My Alice

‘Twas the time of frosty December,
What I hear was the sound of crackling ember.
I sat upon this elegant chair,
Recalling mine memories so fair.

Chancing on the album of old,
Inside it, lots of stories never told:
Of a girl so innocent, so kind
Her sweetest memories left behind.

Dear Alice: Why must you die so young?
So cruel is fate to hath poisoned your tongue.
A second you’re here, the next you’re not,
An incurable illness you’ve certainly got.
