lyrics

Wynken, Blynken, and Nod
Based on a poem by Eugene Field

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,
And what do you wish?”
The old moon asked the three.
“We have come to fish for the herring fish That live in this beautiful sea;
Nests of silver and gold have we!”
Said Wynken, Blynken, and Nod.

The old moon laughed and sang a song, As they rocked in a 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 that beautiful sea –
“Now cast your nets wherever you wish – Never afeard are we!”
So cried the stars to the fishermen three: Wynken, Blynken, 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 fishermen 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:
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 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 fishermen three:
Wynken, Blynken, and Nod.
