An emerald is as green as grass A pin has a head, but has no hair A rose has thorns as well as honey A toadstool comes up in a night. ΙΟΙ 42 86 19 87 Crying, my little one, footsore and weary? Currants on a bush Dancing on the hill-tops Dead in the cold, a song-singing thrush "Ding a ding" Eight o'clock Ferry me across the water Fly away, fly away over the sea 64 10 94 7 96 84 Goodbye in fear, goodbye in sorrow Growing in the vale. Heartsease in my garden bed Hear what the mournful linnets say Hope is like a harebell trembling from its birth Hop-o'-my-thumb and little Jack Horner How many seconds in a minute? Hurt no living thing. 33 14 17 16 58 48 105 xii SING-SONG PAGE Minnie bakes oaten cakes . Mix a pancake. Motherless baby and babyless mother . Mother shake the cherry tree My baby has a father and a mother My baby has a mottled fist O Lady Moon, your horns point toward the east. One and one are two On the grassy banks . O sailor, come ashore Our little baby fell asleep O wind, where have you been O wind, why do you never rest Playing at bob cherry Pussy has a whiskered face. Stroke a flint, and there is nothing to admire Swift and sure the swallow The city mouse lives in a house. 36 III |
