YNKEN, Blynken, and Nod one night &emsp;Sailed off in a wooden shoe&mdash; Sailed on a river of crystal light, &emsp;Into a sea of dew. "Where are you going, and what do you wish?" &emsp;The old moon asked the three. "We have come to fish for the herring fish &emsp;That live in this beautiful sea; &emsp;Nets of silver and gold have we!" Said Wynken, Blynken, And Nod.

The old moon laughed and sang a song, &emsp;As they rocked in the wooden shoe, And the wind that sped them all night long &emsp;Ruffled the waves of dew.
