The Dong With the Luminous Nose [Edward Lear[00:00:00]

When awful darkness and silence reign[00:00:00]

Over the great Gromboolian plain[00:00:02]

Through the long long wintry nights[00:00:04]

When the angry breakers roar[00:00:06]

As they beat on the rocky shore[00:00:08]

When Storm-clouds brood on the towering heights[00:00:10]

Of the Hills of the Chankly Bore[00:00:13]

Then through the vast and gloomy dark[00:00:15]

There moves what seems a fiery spark[00:00:17]

A lonely spark with silvery rays[00:00:19]

Piercing the coal-black night[00:00:21]

A Meteor strange and bright[00:00:23]

Hither and thither the vision strays[00:00:25]

A single lurid light[00:00:27]

Slowly it wander pauses creeps[00:00:30]

Anon it sparklesflashes and leaps[00:00:32]

And ever as onward it gleaming goes[00:00:33]

A light on the Bong-tree stems it throws[00:00:36]

And those who watch at that midnight hour[00:00:39]

From Hall or Terrace or lofty Tower[00:00:41]

Cry as the wild light passes along[00:00:43]

The Dong the Dong[00:00:46]

The wandering Dong through the forest goes[00:00:47]

The Dong the Dong[00:00:50]

The Dong with a luminous Nose[00:00:52]

Long years ago[00:00:56]

The Dong was happy and gay[00:00:57]

Till he fell in love with a Jumbly Girl[00:00:59]

Who came to those shores one day[00:01:02]

For the Jumblies came in a sieve they did[00:01:04]

Landing at eve near the Zemmery Fidd[00:01:06]

Where the Oblong Oysters grow[00:01:10]

And the rocks are smooth and gray[00:01:11]

And all the woods and the valleys rang[00:01:14]

With the Chorus they daily and nightly sang[00:01:16]

Far and few far and few[00:01:19]

Are the lands where the Jumblies live[00:01:22]

Their heads are green and the hands are blue[00:01:24]

And they went to sea in a sieve[00:01:27]

Happily happily passed those days[00:01:31]

While the cheerful Jumblies staid[00:01:34]

They danced in circlets all night long[00:01:36]

To the plaintive pipe of the lively Dong[00:01:38]

In moonlight shine or shade[00:01:40]

For day and night he was always there[00:01:43]

By the side of the Jumbly Girl so fair[00:01:45]

With her sky-blue hands and her sea-green hair[00:01:48]

Till the morning came of that hateful day[00:01:51]

When the Jumblies sailed in their sieve away[00:01:53]

And the Dong was left on the cruel shore[00:01:56]

Gazing gazing for evermore[00:01:59]

Ever keeping his weary eyes on[00:02:02]

That pea-green sail on the far horizon[00:02:04]

Singing the Jumbly Chorus still[00:02:07]

As he sate all day on the grassy hill[00:02:09]

Far and few far and few[00:02:11]

Are the lands where the Jumblies live[00:02:14]

Their heads are green and the hands are blue[00:02:16]

And they went to sea in a sieve[00:02:19]

But when the sun was low in the West[00:02:23]

The Dong arose and said[00:02:25]

What little sense I once possessed[00:02:28]

Has quite gone out of my head[00:02:30]

And since that day he wanders still[00:02:32]

By lake and dorest marsh and hills[00:02:34]

Singing of somewhere in valley or plain[00:02:36]

Might I find my Jumbly Girl again[00:02:39]

For ever I'll seek by lake and shore[00:02:42]

Till I find my Jumbly Girl once more[00:02:44]

Playing a pipe with silvery squeaks[00:02:48]

Since then his Jumbly Girl he seeks[00:02:50]

And because by night he could not see[00:02:52]

He gathered the bark of the Twangum Tree[00:02:54]

On the flowery plain that grows[00:02:56]

And he wove him a wondrous Nose[00:02:59]

A Nose as strange as a Nose could be[00:03:02]

Of vast proportions and painted red[00:03:05]

And tied with cords to the back of his head[00:03:07]

In a hollow rounded space it ended[00:03:10]

With a luminous Lamp within suspended[00:03:12]

All fenced about[00:03:15]

With a bandage stout[00:03:16]

To prevent the wind from blowing it out[00:03:17]

And with holes all round to send the light[00:03:20]

In gleaming rays on the dismal night[00:03:22]

And now each night and all night long[00:03:26]

Over those plains still roams the Dong[00:03:29]

And above the wail of the Chimp and Snipe[00:03:32]

You may hear the squeak of his plaintive pipe[00:03:34]

While ever he seeks but seeks in vain[00:03:37]

To meet with his Jumbly Girl again[00:03:39]

Lonely and wild all night he goes[00:03:43]

The Dong with a luminous Nose[00:03:45]

And all who watch at the midnight hour[00:03:48]

From Hall or Terrace or lofty Tower[00:03:50]

Cry as they trace the Meteor bright[00:03:52]

Moving along through the dreary night[00:03:55]

This is the hour when forth he goes[00:03:57]

The Dong with a luminous Nose[00:04:00]

Yonder over the plain he goes[00:04:02]

He goes[00:04:05]

He goes[00:04:06]

The Dong with a luminous Nose[00:04:07]
