The jumblies and other nonsense verses . The Dong with a Luminous Nose And ever as onward it gleaming goesA light on the Bong-tree stems it those who watch at that midnight hourFrom Hall or Terrace, or lofty Tower,Cry, as the wild light passes along,The Dong!—the Dong!The wandering Dong through the forest goes! The Dong! the Dong!The Dong with a luminous Nose! Long years ago The Dong was happy and gay,Till he fell in love with a Jumbly Girl Who came to those shores one the Jumblies came in a Sieve, they did—Landing at eve near the Zemmery FiddWhere the Oblong Oysters grow, And the rocks are smooth and all the woods and the valleys rangWith the Chorus they daily and nightly sang— Far and few, far and few,Are the lands where the Jumblies live; Their heads are green, and their hands are blue,And they went to sea in a Sieve. Happily, happily passed those days! While the cheerful Jumblies staid; The Dong with a Luminous Nose. They danced in circlets all night long,To the plaintive pipe of the lively Dong,In moonlight, shine, or shade,For day and night he was always thereBy the side of the Jumbly Girl so fair,With her sky-blue hands, and her sea-green the morning came of that hateful dayWhen the Jumblies sailed in their Sieve away,And the Dong was left on the cruel shoreGazing—gazing for evermore—Ever keeping his weary eyes onThat pea-green sail on the far horizon— The Dong with a Luminous Nose
