Page 176 - twas 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.
Page 271 - I've cried To the darkness brooding far and wide Over the land and the deep : "Whom do you want, O lonely night, That you wail the long hours through ?" And the night would say in its ghostly way: "Yoooooooo ! Yoooooooo!
Page 282 - Oh, dear, what shall we do?" But the gingham dog and the calico cat Wallowed this way and tumbled that, Employing every tooth and claw In the awfullest way you ever saw — And, oh!
