| Wynken, Blynken, and Nod one night
|
| Sailed off in a wooden shoe,
|
| Sailed on a river of crystal light
|
| Into a sea of dew.
|
| «Where are you going, what do you wish ?»
|
| The old moon asked the tree.
|
| «We have come to fish for the herring fish
|
| That live in this beutiful sea,
|
| Nets of silver and gold have we,»
|
| Said Wynken, Blynken, and Nod.
|
| The old moon laughed and he sang a saong
|
| Asd they rocked in the wooden shoe
|
| And the wind that sped them all night long
|
| Ruffled the waves of dew.
|
| The little stars werfe the herring fish
|
| That lived in the beautiful sea.
|
| «Now cast your nets wherver you wish
|
| For never afeared are we,»
|
| So cried the sdtars tioo the fishermen three:
|
| Wynken, Blynken, and Nod.
|
| All night long their nets they threw
|
| For the fish in the twinkling foam.
|
| Then down from the skies came the wooden shoe
|
| Bringing the fishermen homer.
|
| 'Twas all so prettty a sail it seemed
|
| As if it could not be And some folks thought 'twas a dream they dreamed
|
| Of sailing that beautiful sea
|
| But I shall name you the fishermen three:
|
| Wynken, Blynken, and Nod.
|
| Wynken and Blynken are two little eyes
|
| And Nod is a little head.
|
| And the wooden shoe that sailed the skies
|
| Is a wee one’s trunble bed.
|
| So close your eyes while mother sings
|
| Of wonderful sights that be And you shall see the beautiful things
|
| As you rocvk in the misty sea
|
| As the old moon rocked the fishermen three:
|
| Wynken, Blynken, and Nod |
