about

The closing number of the show, wherein we examined the beauty and shortness of life, with birds overhead. Sam often cried when he sang.

lyrics

And far away in the twilight sky,
We heard them singing a lessening cry,--
Farther and farther till out of sight,
And we stood alone in the silent night!
Often since, in the nights of June,
We sit on the sand and watch the moon;--
She has gone to the great Gromboolian plain,
And we probably never shall meet again!
Oft, in the long still nights of June,
We sit on the rocks and watch the moon;--
----She dwells by the streams of the Chankly Bore,
And we probably never shall see her more.
Ploffskin, Pluffskin, Pelican jee!
We think no Birds so happy as we!
Plumpskin, Ploshkin, Pelican jill!
We think so then, and we thought so still!

(They went to sea in a sieve they did, in a sieve they went to sea...
In spite of all their friends could say, on a winter's morn, on a stormy day
In a sieve they went to sea....
In a sieve they went to sea....)
