Ride A Cockhorse

Ride a cockhorse to Banbury Cross, A magical forest that’s covered in moss. As you ride closer to this wooded place, You will feel warmth and enchanting grace. Keep your eyes open to each hidden lane, And you’ll be surprised by these forest planes. You will see faeries that reside in the trees, And... Sign in to see full entry.

Baa, Baa, Black Sheep

Baa, Baa, black sheep, Have you any wool? Yes, sir, yes, sir, Three bags full; One for the master To sell in the town, To the little seamstress Who makes pretty gowns. One for the dame Who cannot sleep sound, Without a wool pillow - Tosses round and round. And one to the boy Who lives down the lane,... Sign in to see full entry.

Jack and Jill

Jack and Jill went up the hill To fetch a pail of water; On a day when winds did blow, And trees did teeter totter. Up the hill the two did walk, With heavy feet they treaded; Trying not to fly away, The well was where they headed. Leaves would play upon the air, And bend the grass with kisses,...

Jack Be Nimble

Jack be nimble, Jack be quick, To lose the cat, you must be slick! Dodging here and dodging there, Yes, you must be everywhere! The cat is fast, this is true, But Jack the Mouse, so are you! You can hide, and you can run, Racing round till you have won. So do not worry, do not doubt, Do not even... Sign in to see full entry.

Little Miss Muffet

Little Miss Muffet Sat on a tuffet, During the month of May. She sat in a place Full of blue flowered grace, To finish her curds and whey. She’d sit down so neat, With dainty crossed feet, But her thoughts would go astray, And she’d close her soft eyes Against the bright skies, To sigh the day away.... Sign in to see full entry.

Wee Willie Winkie

Wee Willie Winkie runs through the town, Dashing through streets in just his nightgown. He scurries along without any shoes, Only in socks and a night cap of blue. Every street is quiet with a slumberous air, And Wee Willie Winkie shouts without care. “Are the children in their beds?” he shouts out... Sign in to see full entry.

Hickory Dickory Dock

Hickory, dickory, dock, There was a mouse named Jacque. He lived in a place With very much space, And wished that he had a clock. Hickory, dickory, dare, Jacque was a mouse that’s rare – He’d always be late For his time wasn’t great, So he ran around everywhere. Hickory, dickory, doo, To find a... Sign in to see full entry.

Little Boy Blue

Little Boy Blue, come blow your horn; The cow’s in the field eating all the corn! The sheep’s in the meadow getting further away, Oh Little Boy Blue, please save the day! The cow will get fat and the sheep will all wander, The corn will be gone – the animals yonder; Where’s the little boy who looks... Sign in to see full entry.

There Was an Old Woman

There was an old woman who lived in a shoe, It was made of real leather, the laces askew. The top, of course, had a wide open gap, And a roof was built over, just like a small cap. The door stood tall along the length of its heel, With ivy vines used for design and appeal. And flowers did grow along... Sign in to see full entry.

The Sleeper's Prayer

As I lay me down to sleep Within the darkened nighttime deep, Keep the shadows far from me, Away from lands of dreaming sea. Let not the twilight find me here, Between real life and dreamer’s lair. I close my eyes to sleep once more, And lose myself on dreamer’s shore. May all the angels east and... Sign in to see full entry.
