Meta Description: 

Explore Eugene Field's enchanting children's poem "Wynken, Blynken, and Nod," featuring three dream-like characters sailing a wooden shoe through a starlit sky, beautifully illustrated with whimsical images.

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;

Nets of silver and gold have we!"

Said Wynken, Blynken, And No

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 that beautiful sea—

"Now cast your nets wherever you wish—

Never afraid are we!"

So cried the stars to the fishermen three:

Wynken, Blynken, And Nod.

All night long their wooden shoe

Rocked over the sea of dew;

But just before the day was done,

Sail to the shore each one,

Asleep in the wooden shoe.

And mother will whisper, "Thy darling is thine!"

In the morning light, as she finds them there—

Wynken, Blynken, And Nod.
