Wynken, Blynken, and Nod

¹Wynken, Blynken, and Nod one night

²Sailed off in a wooden shoe—

³Sailed on a river of crystal light,

⁴Into a sea of dew.

⁵"Where are you going, and what do you wish?"

⁶The old moon asked the three.

⁷"We have come to fish for the herring fish

⁸That live in this beautiful sea;

⁹Nets of silver and gold have we!"

¹⁰Said Wynken, Blynken, and Nod.

¹¹Wynken and Blynken are two little eyes,

¹²And Nod is a little head,

¹³And the wooden shoe that sailed the skies

¹⁴Is a wee one's trundle-bed.

¹⁵So shut your eyes while mother sings

¹⁶Of wonderful sights that be,

¹⁷And you shall see the beautiful things

¹⁸As you rock in the misty sea,

¹⁹Where the old shoe rocked the fishermen three:

²⁰Wynken, Blynken, and Nod.
