《The Dong With the Luminous Nose [Edward Lear]》歌词

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:00:27] A single lurid light

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:00:46] The Dong the Dong

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

[00:00:50] The Dong the Dong

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

[00:00:56] Long years ago

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:59] Gazing gazing for evermore

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:03:15] All fenced about

[00:03:16] With a bandage stout

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:04:05] He goes

[00:04:06] He goes

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