Love Me - I Love You
Love me - I love you,
Love me, my baby;
Sing it high, sing it low,
Sing it as may be.
Mother’s arms under you,
Her eyes above you;
Sing it high, sing it low,
Love me - I love you.
By Christina Rossetti: “Sing-Song: A Nursery Rhyme Book” (1872)

Some people claim that nursery rhymes have hidden meanings or references to tragic historic events; however, their claims are mostly baseless and possibly made for bad motives. It is better to ignore such people and their claims, and simply enjoy nursery rhymes as whimsical mini-fairy tales that allow parents and their youngsters to become better acquainted and for parents to teach youngsters in fun ways about words and sounds and their meanings and use.

Nursery rhymes began as an oral, or spoken tradition, and were handed down from generation to generation across time. These early nursery rhymes existed with several variations of each of the individual rhymes, being recalled from memory, and sung or recited aloud, by adults to their children. Later, spoken nursery rhymes were recorded in written and illustrated collections, which became available as picture books.

Older nursery rhymes have some outdated words and expressions, as well as outdated grammatical constructs that are no longer in common use. Because some of their meanings have been lost to time, modern readers will likely interpret some nursery rhymes as nonsense or nonsensical, and that is perfectly fine.

Rock-A-Bye Baby
Rock-a-bye baby on the treetop,
When the wind blows the cradle will rock,
When the bough breaks the cradle will fall,
And down will come baby, cradle and all.
Baby is drowsing cozy and fair,
Mother sits near in her rocking chair.
Forward and back the cradle she swings,
And though baby sleeps he hears what she sings,
From the high rooftops down to the sea.
No one’s as dear as baby to me,
Wee little fingers, eyes wide and bright,
Now sound asleep until morning light.

I see the Moon.
The Moon sees me.
God bless the Moon,
And God bless me.
I see the stars.
The stars see me.
God bless the stars,
And God bless me.
I see the world.
The world sees me.
God bless the world,
And God bless me.
I know an angel
Watches over me.
God bless the angels,
And God bless me.

Bed-Time Song
Sleep, my baby, while I sing
Bed-time news of everything.
Chickens run to mother hen;
Piggy curls up in the pen.
In the field, all tired with play,
Quiet now the lambkins stay.
Kittens cuddle in a heap -
Baby, too, must go to sleep!
Sleep, my baby, while I sing
Bed-time news of everything.
Now the cows from pasture come;
Bees fly home with drowsy hum.
Little birds are in the nest,
Under mother-bird’s soft breast.
Over all soft shadows creep -
Baby now must go to sleep.
Sleep, my baby, while I sing
Bed-time news of everything.
Sleepy flowers seem to nod,
Drooping toward the dewy sod;
While the big sun’s fading light
Bids my baby dear good-night.
Mother loving watch will keep;
Baby now must go to sleep.

My Black Hen
Higgle-dee, piggle-dee, my black hen,
She lays eggs for gentlemen;
Sometimes nine, and sometimes ten,
Higgle-dee, piggle-dee, my black hen.

Billy, Billy
“Billy, Billy, come and play,
While the sun shines bright as day.”
“Yes, my Polly, so I will,
For I love to please you still.”
“Billy, Billy, have you seen
Sam and Betsy on the green?”
“Yes, my Poll, I saw them pass,
Skipping o’er the new-mown grass.”
“Billy, Billy, come along,
And I will sing a pretty song.”
