Wynken and Blynken and Nod one night
Sailed off in a wooden shoe
Sailed on a river of crystal light
Into the sea of dew
"Where are you going and what do you wish?"
The old Moon asked the tree
"We going out fishing for the herring fish
That live in this beautiful sea
Nets of silver and gold have we"
Said Wynken and Blynken and Nod

The old Moon laughed and he sang a song
As they rocked in the wooden shoe
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
"Cast your nets wherever you wish
Never a feared are we"
So sang the stars to the fishermen three
Wynken and 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 sight to see
As if it could not be
And some folks thought 'twas a dream they dreamed
Of sailing that beautiful sea
But I will name you the fishermen three
Wynken and Blynken and Nod

Now Wynken and Blynken are two little eyes
Nod is a little head
And the wooden shoe that sailed those skies
Is a wee one's trundle bed
So close your eyes while mother sings
Of beautiful sights that be
You will see the wonderful things
As you rock in the misty sea
When the old Moon rocked the fishermen three
Wynken and Blynken and Nod
