Some gave them white bread;

And some gave them brown;

Some gave them plum cake;

And sent them out of town。







As Tommy Snooks and Bessy Brooks

Were walking out one Sunday;

Says Tommy Snooks to Bessy Brooks;

〃To…morrow will be Monday。〃







Curly locks!  Curly locks!

Wilt thou be mine?

Thou shalt not wash dishes

Nor yet feed the swine;

But sit on a cushion

And sew a fine seam;

And feed upon strawberries;

Sugar and cream。







Blow; wind; blow! and go; mill; go!

That the miller may grind his corn;

That the baker may take it and into rolls make it;

And send us some hot in the morn。







Six little mice sat down to spin;

Pussy passed by; and she peeped in。

〃What are you at; my little men?〃

〃Making coats for gentlemen。〃

〃Shall I come in and bite off your threads?〃

〃No; no; Miss Pussy; you'll snip off our heads。〃

〃Oh; no; I'll not; I'll help you to spin。〃

〃That may be so; but you don't come in!〃







Bobby Shaftoe's gone to sea;

Silver buckles at his knee;

When he comes back; he'll marry me;

Bonny Bobby Shaftoe。



Bobby Shaftoe's fat and fair;

Combing down his yellow hair;

He's my love for evermair;

Bonny Bobby Shaftoe。







Rock…a…bye; baby; thy cradle is green;

Father's a nobleman; mother's a queen;

And Betty's a lady; and wears a gold ring;

And Johnny's a drummer; and drums for the King。



Hush…a…bye; baby; on the tree…top;

When the wind blows the cradle will rock;

When the bough breaks; the cradle will fall;

Down will come baby; bough; cradle; and all。







To market; to market; to buy a fat pig;

Home again; home again; jiggety…jig;

To market; to market; to buy a fat hog;

Home again; home again; jiggety…jog;

To market; to market; to buy a plum bun;

Home again; home again; market is done。







JACK AND JILL



Jack and Jill went up the hill;

To fetch a pail of water;

Jack fell down and broke his crown

And Jill came tumbling after。



Up Jack got and home did trot

As fast as he could caper;

And went to bed to mend his head

With vinegar and brown paper。





THE QUEEN OF HEARTS



The Queen of Hearts

She made some tarts;

All on a summer's day;

The Knave of Hearts

He stole those tarts;

And with them ran away。



The King of Hearts

Called for the tarts;

And beat the Knave full sore;

The Knave of Hearts

Brought back the tarts;

And vowed he'd steal no more!





LITTLE BO…PEEP



Little Bo…peep has lost her sheep;

And can't tell where to find them;

Leave them alone; and they'll come home;

And bring their tails behind them。



Little Bo…peep fell fast asleep;

And dreamed she heard them bleating;

But when she awoke; she found it a joke;

For they were still a…fleeting。



Then up she took her little crook;

Determined for to find them;

She found them indeed; but it made her heart bleed;

For they'd left their tails behind them!



It happened one day; as Bo…peep did stray;

Unto a meadow hard by;

There she espied their tails side by side;

All hung on a tree to dry。



She heaved a sigh; and wiped her eye;

And over the hillocks she raced;

And tried what she could; as a shepherdess should;

That each tail should be properly placed。





MARY'S LAMB



Mary had a little lamb;

Its fleece was white as snow;

And every where that Mary went

The lamb was sure to go;

He followed her to school one day …

That was against the rule;

It made the children laugh and play;

To see a lamb at school。



And so the Teacher turned him out;

But still he lingered near;

And waited patiently about;

Till Mary did appear;

And then he ran to her; and laid

His head upon her arm;

As if he said … 〃I'm not afraid …

You'll keep me from all harm。〃



〃What makes the lamb love Mary so?〃

The eager children cry …

〃O; Mary loves the lamb; you know;〃

The Teacher did reply; …

〃And you each gentle animal

In confidence may bind;

And make them follow at your call;

If you are always kind。〃



Sarah Josepha Hale '1788…1879'





THE STAR



Twinkle; twinkle; little star;

How I wonder what you are;

Up above the world so high;

Like a diamond in the sky。



When the blazing sun is set;

And the grass with dew is wet;

Then you show your little light;

Twinkle; twinkle; all the night。



Then the traveler in the dark

Thanks you for your tiny spark;

He could not see where to go

If you did not twinkle so。



In the dark blue sky you keep;

And often through my curtains peep;

For you never shut your eye

Till the sun is in the sky。



As your bright and tiny spark

Lights the traveler in the dark;

Though I know not what you are;

Twinkle; twinkle; little star。



Jane Taylor '1783…1824)





〃SING A SONG OF SIXPENCE〃



Sing a song of sixpence;

A pocket full of rye;

Four…and…twenty blackbirds

Baked in a pie;



When the pie was opened

The birds began to sing;

Wasn't that a dainty dish

To set before the King?



The King was in his counting…house;

Counting out his money;

The Queen was in the parlor;

Eating bread and honey;



The maid was in the garden

Hanging out the clothes;

When down came a blackbird;

And nipped off her nose。





SIMPLE SIMON



Simple Simon met a pieman

Going to the fair;

Says Simple Simon to the pieman;

〃Let me taste your ware。〃



Says the pieman to Simple Simon;

〃Show me first your penny〃;

Says Simple Simon to the pieman;

〃Indeed I have not any。〃



Simple Simon went a…fishing

For to catch a whale;

All the water he had got

Was in his mother's pail。



Simple Simon went to look

If plums grew on a thistle;

He pricked his fingers very much;

Which made poor Simon whistle。





A PLEASANT SHIP



I saw a ship a…sailing;

A…sailing on the sea;

And oh! it was all laden

With pretty things for thee!



There were comfits in the cabin;

And apples in the hold;

The sails were made of silk;

And the masts were made of gold。



The four…and…twenty sailors

That stood between the decks

Were four…and…twenty white mice;

With chains about their necks。



The captain was a duck;

With a packet on his back;

And when the ship began to move;

The captain said 〃Quack! Quack!〃





〃I HAD A LITTLE HUSBAND〃



I had a little husband

No bigger than my thumb;

I put him in a pint pot;

And there I bade him drum。



I bought a little horse;

That galloped up and down;

I bridled him and saddled him;

And sent him out of town。



I gave him some garters;

To garter up his hose;

And a little handkerchief;

To wipe his pretty nose。





〃WHEN I WAS A BACHELOR〃



When I was a bachelor

I lived by myself;

And all the bread and cheese I got

I put upon the shelf。



The rats and the mice

They made such a strife;

I was forced to go to London

To buy me a wife。



The streets were so bad;

And the lanes were so narrow;

I was forced to bring my wife home

In a wheelbarrow。



The wheelbarrow broke;

And my wife had a fall;

Down came wheelbarrow;

Little wife and all。





〃JOHNNY SHALL HAVE A NEW BONNET〃



Johnny shall have a new bonnet;

And Johnny shall go to the fair;

And Johnny shall have a blue ribbon


To tie up his bonny brown hair。



And why may not I love Johnny;

And why may not Johnny love me?

And why may not I love Johnny

As well as another body?



And here's a leg for a stocking;

And here's a foot for a shoe;

And he has a kiss for his daddy;


And one for his mammy; too。



And why may not I love Johnny;

And why may not Johnny love me?

And why may not I love Johnny;

As well as another body?





THE CITY MOUSE AND THE GARDEN MOUSE



The city mouse lives in a house; …

The garden mouse lives in a bower;

He's friendly with the frogs and toads;

And sees the pretty plants in flower。



The city mouse eats bread and cheese; …

The garden mouse eats what he can;

We will not grudge him seeds and stocks;

Poor little timid furry man。



Christina Georgina Rossetti '1830…1894'





ROBIN REDBREAST



Little Robin Redbreast sat upon a tree;

Up went pussy…cat; and down went he;

Down came pussy…cat; and away Robin ran;

Said little Robin Redbreast; 〃Catch me if you can。〃



Little Robin Redbreast jumped upon a wall;

Pussy…cat jumped after him; and almost got a fall;

Little Robin chirped and sang; and what did pussy say?

Pussy…cat said naught but 〃Mew;〃 and Robin flew away。





SOLOMON GRUNDY



Solomon Grundy;

Born on a Monday;

Christened on Tuesday;

Married on Wednesday;

Took ill on Thursday;

Worse on Friday;

Died on Saturday;

Buried on Sunday;

This is the end of

Solomon Grundy。





〃MERRY ARE THE BELLS〃



Merry are the bells; and merry would they ring;

Merry was myself; and merry could I sing;

With a merry ding…dong; happy; gay; and free;

And a merry sing…song; happy let us be!



Waddle goes your gait; and hollow are your hose:

Noddle goes your pate; and purple is your nose:

Merry is your sing…song; happy; gay; and free;

With a merry ding…dong; happy let us be!



Merry have we met; and merry have we been;

Merry let us part; and merry meet again;

With our merry sing…song; happy; gay; and free;

With a merry ding…dong; happy let us be!





〃WHEN GOOD KING ARTHUR RULED THIS LAND〃



When good King Arthur ruled this land;

He was a goodly king;

He stole three pecks of barley meal;

To make a bag…pudding。



A bag…pudding the queen did make;

And stuffed it well with plums:

And in it put great lumps of fat;

As big as my two thumbs。



The king and queen did eat thereof;

And noblemen beside;

And what they could not eat that night;

The queen next morning fried。





THE BELLS OF LONDON
