The jumblies and other nonsense verses . ndrous Nose,A Nose as strange as a Nose could be!Of vast proportions and painted red,And tied with cords to the back of his head.—In a hollow rounded space it endedWith a luminous lamp within suspended, All fenced about With a bandage stout To prevent the wind from blowing it out;And with holes all round to send the light,In gleaming rays on the dismal night. And now each night, and all night long,Over those plains still roams the Dong!And above the wail of the Chimp and SnipeYou may hear the squeak of his plaintive pipe,While ever he seeks, but seeks in vain,To meet with his Jumbly Girl again;Lonely and wild—all night he goes—The Dong with a luminous Nose!And all who watch at the midnight hour,From Hall or Terrace, or Lofty Tower,Cry, as they trace the Meteor bright,Moving along through the dreary night, The Dong with a Luminous Nose This is the hour when forth he goes,The Dong with a luminous Nose!Yonder—over the plain he goes; He goes; He goes!The Dong with a luminous Nose!.
