Winken, Blinken And Nod

……

Winken, Blinken and Nod one night

Sailed off on a wooden shoe

of a river of crystal light

Into a sea of dew

Now where are you going and what do you wish?

The old moon asked the three

We're going fishing for the Herring fish

That live in the beautiful sea

And some silver and gold have we

Said, Winken and 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 fishermen home

T'was all so pretty a sight to seem

As if it could not be

And some folks thought t'was a dream

They dreamed of sailing the beautiful sea

But I will name you the fishermen three

Winken, Blinken, Nod

……

Winken and Blinken 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 the wonderful sights that be

And you shall see all the beautiful things

As you rock in the misty sea

Where the old moon rocked the fishermen three

Winken and Blinken and Nod
