When Fishes Set Umbrellas Up
When fishes set umbrellas up
If the rain-drops run,
Lizards will want their parasols
To shade them from the sun.

The Rose That Blushes Rosy Red
The rose that blushes rosy red,
She must hang her head;
The lily that blows spotless white,
She may stand upright.

Eight O'clock
Eight o'clock;
The postman's knock!
Five letters for Papa;
One for Lou,
And none for you,
And three for dear Mamma.

Wrens And Robins In The Hedge
Wrens and robins in the hedge,
Wrens and robins here and there;
Building, perching, pecking, fluttering,
Everywhere! C

Bread And Milk For Breakfast
Bread and milk for breakfast,
And woollen frocks to wear,
And a crumb for robin redbreast
On the cold days of the year.

If All Were Rain And Never Sun
If all were rain and never sun,
No bow could span the hill;
If all were sun and never rain,
There’d be no rainbow still.

A Toadstool Comes Up In A Night
A toadstool comes up in a night, -
Learn the lesson, little folk: -
An oak grows on a hundred years,
But then it is an oak.

Crimson Curtains Round My Mother's Bed
Crimson curtains round my mother's bed,
Silken soft as may be;
Cool white curtains round about my bed,
For I am but a baby.

Give Me Holly
But give me holly, bold and jolly,
Honest, prickly, shining holly;
Pluck me holly leaf and berry
For the day when I make merry

My Baby Has A Mottled Fist
My baby has a mottled fist,
My baby has a neck in creases;
My baby kisses and is kissed,
For he's the very thing for kisses.
