 hey a. blinken ,

where's winken & nod? 

 —to the right and left of thee?

are u all 3? 


winken and blinken 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:—
            

winken,
            

blinken,
            

and nod.
