When awful darkness and silence reign	A
Over the great Gromboolian plain	A
Through the long long wintry nights	B
When the angry breakers roar	C
As they beat on the rocky shore	C
When Storm clouds brood on the towering heights	B
Of the Hills of the Chankly Bore	C
	-
Then through the vast and gloomy dark	D
There moves what seems a fiery spark	D
A lonely spark with silvery rays	E
Piercing the coal black night	F
A Meteor strange and bright	F
Hither and thither the vision strays	E
A single lurid light	F
	-
Slowly it wanders pauses creeeps	E
Anon it sparkles flashes and leaps	E
And ever as onward it gleaming goes	E
A light on the Bong tree stems it throws	E
And those who watch at that midnight hour	G
From Hall or Terrace or lofty Tower	G
Cry as the wild light passes along	H
'The Dong the Dong	H
'The wandering Dong through the forest goes	E
'The Dong the Dong	H
'The Dong with a luminous Nose '	-
	-
Long years ago	I
The Dong was happy and gay	J
Till he fell in love with a Jumbly Girl	K
Who came to those shores one day	J
For the Jumblies came in a sieve they did	L
Landing at eve near the Zemmery Fidd	L
Where the Oblong Oysters grow	I
And the rocks are smooth and gray	J
And all the woods and the valleys rang	M
With the Chorus they daily and nightly sang	M
'Far and few far and few	N
Are the lands where the Jumblies live	O
Their heads are green and their hands are blue	N
And they went to sea in a sieve '	-
	-
Happily happily passed those days	E
While the cheerful Jumblies staid	L
They danced in circlets all night long	H
To the plaintive pipe of the lively Dong	H
In moonlight shine or shade	L
For day and night he was always there	P
By the side of the Jumbly Girl so fair	P
With her sky blue hands and her sea green hair	P
Till the morning came of that hateful day	J
When the Jumblies sailed in their sieve away	J
And the Dong was left on the cruel shore	C
Gazing gazing for evermore	C
Ever keeping his weary eyes on	Q
That pea green sail on the far horizon	R
Singing the Jumbly Chorus still	S
As he sate all day on the grassy hill	S
'Far and few far and few	N
Are the lands where the Jumblies live	O
Their heads are green and their hands are blue	N
And they went to sea in a sieve '	-
	-
But when the sun was low in the West	L
The Dong arose and said	L
'What little sense I once possessed	L
'Has quite gone out of my head '	-
And since that day he wanders still	S
By lake or forest marsh and hill	S
Singing 'O somewhere in valley or plain	A
'Might I find my Jumbly Girl again	T
'For ever I'll seek by lake and shore	C
'Till I find my Jumbly Girl once more '	-
	-
Playing a pipe with silvery squeaks	E
Since then his Jumbly Girl he seeks	E
And because by night he could not see	E
He gathered the bark of the Twangum Tree	E
On the flowery plain that grows	E
And he wove him a wondrous Nose	E
A Nose as strange as a Nose could be	E
Of vast proportions and painted red	L
And tied with cords to the back of his head	L
In a hollow rounded space it ended	L
With a luminous Lamp within suspended	L
All fenced about	L
With a bandage stout	L
To prevent the wind from blowing it out	L
And with holes all round to send the light	L
In gleaming rays on the dismal night	L
	-
And now each night and all night long	H
Over those plains still roams the Dong	H
And above the wall of the Chimp and Snipe	U
You may hear the sqeak of his plaintive pipe	U
While ever he seeks but seeks in vain	A
To meet with his Jumbly Girl again	T
Lonely and wild all night he goes	E
The Dong with a luminous Nose	E
And all who watch at the midnight hour	G
From Hall or Terrace or lofty Tower	G
Cry as they trace the Meteor bright	L
Moving along through the dreary night	L
'This is the hour when forth he goes	E
'The Dong with a luminous Nose	E
'Yonder over the plain he goes	E
'He goes	E
'He goes	E
'The Dong with a luminous Nose '	-
