Wynken, Blynken, and Nod

by Eugene Field

‘Wynken, Blynken, and Nod’ is a popular children’s song by Eugene Field, best known as the “poet of childhood.” This lullaby features three little kids who sailed for the stars on a wooden shoe as their boat.

Sailed off in a wooden shoe,—

Sailed on a river of crystal light

Into a sea of dew.
