The jumblies and other nonsense verses . 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. Singing the Jumbly Chorus stillAs he sat all day on the grassy hill— Far and few, far and few,Are the lands where the Jumhlies live; Their heads are green, and their hands are blue,And they went to sea in a Sieve. But when the sun was low in the West,The Dong arose and said,What little sense I once possessedHas quite gone out of my head!And since that day he wanders stillBy lake and forest, marsh and hill,Singing—O somewhere, in valley or plainMight I find my Jumbly Girl again! The Dong with a Luminous Nose
