| | [minstrels] Wynken, Blynken, and Nod -- Eugene Field |
 | | A Dutch Lullaby Wynken, Blynken, and Nod one night Sailed off in a wooden shoe,-- Sailed on a river of crystal light Into a sea of dew. |
 | | I was introduced to "The Children's Poet", Eugene Field at a Very Young Age, when I got a book with beautifully illustrated copies of 'The Duel' and 'Wynken, Blynken and Nod'. |
 | | I can see the difference between "Wynken, Blynken and Nod" and, as the poem had it, Wynken, Blynken, And Nod And above all, I can appreciate Field's mastery of the (far more difficult than it looks) art of children's poetry, and see just why he has taken his place among the immortals of that genre. |
