As Orwn would no doubt have pointed out, the Excelsior parody is 3 stanzas and is included with an illustration in the Unkind To Unicorns collection
The shades of night were falling fast
And the rain was falling faster,
When through an Alpine village passed
An Alpine village pastor:
A youth who bore mid snow and ice
A bird that wouldn't chirrup,
And a banner with a strange device -
"Mrs Winslow's soothing syrup."
