Explore "Dutch Lullaby" by Eugene Field on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Wynken, Blynken, and Nod one night / Sailed off in a wooden shoe, -- / Sailed on a river of misty 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 Nod.
The old moon laughed and sung 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 the beautiful sea. / "Now cast your nets wherever you wish, / But never afeard are we! " / So cried the stars to the fishermen three, / Wynken, / Blynken, / And Nod.
