In 'Through the Looking-Glass', what is the name of the poem that begins 'The time has come,' the Walrus said...?

The poem that begins “The time has come,” the Walrus said…” is “The Walrus and the Carpenter.” Lewis Carroll included it in Through the Looking-Glass, his 1871 sequel to Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.

In the novel, Tweedledum and Tweedledee recite the poem to Alice. It tells how a walrus and a carpenter invite a group of oysters for a walk along the shore, apparently offering companionship but ultimately eating them. The poem’s cheerful rhythm and absurd logic contrast sharply with its unsettling ending.

The work is a narrative poem of 18 stanzas and 108 lines. Readers sometimes confuse it with “Jabberwocky,” another famous poem from Through the Looking-Glass, or with “The Hunting of the Snark,” a separate Carroll poem published in 1876. The title also inspired the Beatles’ 1967 song “I Am the Walrus,” although the song is not an adaptation of Carroll’s poem.
