Made after the wonderful poem "Dutch Lullaby" written 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 poem is beautiful, and so are the puppets. I love how they have an organically mystical sort of feel to them. You're very talented.

Dank je wel, ik ben blij dat je het mooi vind! En het is trouwens niet zo raar dat je het gedicht niet kon, gezien de schrijver Amerikaans is. Op de klomp, waarin de drie kinderen varen, na is er ook helemaal niets Nederlands aan.... :)

Ik had er geen erg in dat je ook Nederlands ben :)...wat leuk dat het van een amerikaan is ik zal het eens een keer opzoeken, ben nou toch wel nieuwschierig geworden.
En je werk is echt geweldig,:deviation: het doet me erg denken aan een oud rijmpjesbundel die mijn moeder heeft van toen ze klein was...het heet Witte Zwanen Zwarte Zwanen van Hans Borstlap, misschien ken je het wel..
Nou.. ik hoop in ieder geval nog veel meer van je mooie werk te kunnen bewonderen, ga zo door! :#1:
