Wynken, Blynken, and Nod (Dutch Lullaby) / by Eugene Field (1850-1895) 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. 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 afeard are we”; / So cried the stars to the fishermen three: / Wynken, / Blynken, / And Nod. All night long their nets they threw / To the stars in the twinkling foam-- / Then down from the skies came the wooden shoe, / Bringing the fishermen home; / ‘T was all so pretty a sail it seemed / As if it could not be, / And some folks thought ‘t was a dream they ‘d dreamed / Of sailing that beautiful sea— / But I shall name you the fishermen three: / Wynken, / Blynken, / And Nod. Wynken and Blynken are two little eyes, / And Nod is a little head, / And the wooden shoe that sailed the skies / Is a wee one’s trundle-bed. / So shut your eyes while mother sings / Of wonderful sights that be, / And you shall see the beautiful things / As you rock in the misty sea, / Where the old shoe rocked the fishermen three: / Wynken, / Blynken, / And Nod.

“The rose speaks of love silently, in a language known only to the heart.” Anonymous quote. Taken at Swanes Rose Nursery in Sydney (Australia) and treated in PS. Please visit my bubblesite for more comprehensive categories … Landscapes Trees Cards EOD Rusty Flowers Architecture Macro CatchAll DM
I turned up at Swanes Rose Nursery only to find their blooms all either rotting and dead, or having lost their ‘heads’ altogether! So, I did what any self respecting photographer would do – took over 100 shots of withered and dead roses! I must confess I find some of the decaying blooms attractive in their own right. Blended with a photo of rust here in CS3 to add to the aged look. FEATURED in Digital Art Compilations Group 12 June 09 Landscapes Trees Cards EOD Rusty Flowers Architecture Macro CatchAll DM
