Where it comes from
Lewis Carroll wrote it in chapter 5 of Through the Looking-Glass. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
"Only it is so very lonely here!" Alice said in a melancholy voice; and at the thought of her loneliness two large tears came rolling down her cheeks.
The sentence you are solving goes here.
Alice could not help laughing at this, even in the midst of her tears. "Can you keep from crying by considering things?" she asked.
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
