Fishermen



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 Nod.

-Eugene Field (1850 - 1895),
Wynken, Blynken, and Nod
