[00:00:00] The Dong With the Luminous Nose [Edward Lear [00:00:00] When awful darkness and silence reign [00:00:02] Over the great Gromboolian plain [00:00:04] Through the long long wintry nights [00:00:06] When the angry breakers roar [00:00:08] As they beat on the rocky shore [00:00:10] When Storm-clouds brood on the towering heights [00:00:13] Of the Hills of the Chankly Bore [00:00:15] Then through the vast and gloomy dark [00:00:17] There moves what seems a fiery spark [00:00:19] A lonely spark with silvery rays [00:00:21] Piercing the coal-black night [00:00:23] A Meteor strange and bright [00:00:25] Hither and thither the vision strays [00:00:27] A single lurid light [00:00:30] Slowly it wander pauses creeps [00:00:32] Anon it sparklesflashes and leaps [00:00:33] And ever as onward it gleaming goes [00:00:36] A light on the Bong-tree stems it throws [00:00:39] And those who watch at that midnight hour [00:00:41] From Hall or Terrace or lofty Tower [00:00:43] Cry as the wild light passes along [00:00:46] The Dong the Dong [00:00:47] The wandering Dong through the forest goes [00:00:50] The Dong the Dong [00:00:52] The Dong with a luminous Nose [00:00:56] Long years ago [00:00:57] The Dong was happy and gay [00:00:59] Till he fell in love with a Jumbly Girl [00:01:02] Who came to those shores one day [00:01:04] For the Jumblies came in a sieve they did [00:01:06] Landing at eve near the Zemmery Fidd [00:01:10] Where the Oblong Oysters grow [00:01:11] And the rocks are smooth and gray [00:01:14] And all the woods and the valleys rang [00:01:16] With the Chorus they daily and nightly sang [00:01:19] Far and few far and few [00:01:22] Are the lands where the Jumblies live [00:01:24] Their heads are green and the hands are blue [00:01:27] And they went to sea in a sieve [00:01:31] Happily happily passed those days [00:01:34] While the cheerful Jumblies staid [00:01:36] They danced in circlets all night long [00:01:38] To the plaintive pipe of the lively Dong [00:01:40] In moonlight shine or shade [00:01:43] For day and night he was always there [00:01:45] By the side of the Jumbly Girl so fair [00:01:48] With her sky-blue hands and her sea-green hair [00:01:51] Till the morning came of that hateful day [00:01:53] When the Jumblies sailed in their sieve away [00:01:56] And the Dong was left on the cruel shore [00:01:59] Gazing gazing for evermore [00:02:02] Ever keeping his weary eyes on [00:02:04] That pea-green sail on the far horizon [00:02:07] Singing the Jumbly Chorus still [00:02:09] As he sate all day on the grassy hill [00:02:11] Far and few far and few [00:02:14] Are the lands where the Jumblies live [00:02:16] Their heads are green and the hands are blue [00:02:19] And they went to sea in a sieve [00:02:23] But when the sun was low in the West [00:02:25] The Dong arose and said [00:02:28] What little sense I once possessed [00:02:30] Has quite gone out of my head [00:02:32] And since that day he wanders still [00:02:34] By lake and dorest marsh and hills [00:02:36] Singing of somewhere in valley or plain [00:02:39] Might I find my Jumbly Girl again [00:02:42] For ever I'll seek by lake and shore [00:02:44] Till I find my Jumbly Girl once more [00:02:48] Playing a pipe with silvery squeaks [00:02:50] Since then his Jumbly Girl he seeks [00:02:52] And because by night he could not see [00:02:54] He gathered the bark of the Twangum Tree [00:02:56] On the flowery plain that grows [00:02:59] And he wove him a wondrous Nose [00:03:02] A Nose as strange as a Nose could be [00:03:05] Of vast proportions and painted red [00:03:07] And tied with cords to the back of his head [00:03:10] In a hollow rounded space it ended [00:03:12] With a luminous Lamp within suspended [00:03:15] All fenced about [00:03:16] With a bandage stout [00:03:17] To prevent the wind from blowing it out [00:03:20] And with holes all round to send the light [00:03:22] In gleaming rays on the dismal night [00:03:26] And now each night and all night long [00:03:29] Over those plains still roams the Dong [00:03:32] And above the wail of the Chimp and Snipe 404
