Winken, Blinken, and Nod

Winken, Blinken, and Nod one night

Sailed off in a wooden shoe --

Sailed off on a river of crystal light,

Into a sea of dew.

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

The old moon asked the three.

"We have come to fish for the herring fish

That live in the beautiful sea;

Nets of silver and gold have we!"

Said Winken, Blinken, And Nod.

The old moon laughed and sang a song,

As they rocked in the wooden shoe,

And the wind that sped them all night long

Ruffled the waves of dew.

The little stars were the herring fish

That lived in the beautiful sea --

"Now cast your nets wherever you wish --

Never afeard are we";

So cried the stars to the fishermen three:

Winken, Blinken, And Nod.

All night long their nets they threw

To the stars in the twinkling foam --

Then down from the skies came the wooden shoe

Bringing the fisherman home;

'Twas all so pretty a sail it seemed

As if it could not be,
And some folks thought 'twas a dream they'd dreamed

Of sailing that beautiful sea --

But I shall name you the fishermen three:

Winken, Blinken, And Nod.

Winken and Blinken are two little eyes,

And Nod is a little head,

And the wooden shoe that sailed the skies

Is the wee one's trundle-bed.

So shut your eyes while mother sings

Of wonderful sights that be,

And you shall see the beautiful things

As you rock in the misty sea,

Where the old shoe rocked the fisherman three:

Winken, Blinken, And Nod.
