Winken, Blinken and Nod 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,
Nets of silver and gold have we",
Said 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 a wee one's trundle bed.
Now 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.
