A daring prince, of the realm Rangg Dhune
A Kiss when I wake in the morning
A toadstool comes up in a night
A vase upon the mantelpiece
A wee little worm in a hickory-nut
All along the backwater
All night lond and every night
Amelia mixed the mustard
An apple a day
Behold the wonders
Betty Botter bought some butter
Brown and furry
Calico Pie
Come play with me
"Come", said the Wind to the Leaves one day
Daughter, take this amulet
Fillet of a fenny snake
First I saw the white bear, the I saw the black
Glad that I live am I
Great, wide, beautiful, wonderful World
He put his acorn helmet on
Here is the Dog. Since time began
High up in the apple tree climbing I go
Hurt no living thing
I am his Highness' dog at Kew
I asked the little boy who cannot see
I had a boat, and the boat had wings
I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me
I love my books
I saw a donkey one day old
I saw a star slide down the sky
I stood beside a hill
I was four yesterday - when I'm quite old
I woke before the morning, I was happy all the day
If I had a donkey that wouldn't go
If the butterfly courted the bee
In jumping and tumbling
In winter I get up at night
In winter when the air is chill
January brings the snow
Jelly on the plate
Jerry Hall, he was so small
Listen
Little Arabella Miller
Little drops of water
Little fishes in a brook
Look at the stars! Look, look up at the skies!
Minnie and Winnie
My bed is like a little boat
My heart's in the Highlands, my heart is not here
My tea in nearly ready and the sun has left the sky
Oh! Hush thee, my baby, the night is behind us
Oh! Pleasant, pleasant were the days
Old Meg she was a Gipsy
Once I was a monarch's daughter
One for a tangle
Our dog Fred
Quick, quick
Said a Snake to a Frog with a wrinkled skin
Said little Sue
Sea Shell, Sea Shell
Swan swam over the sea
Sway to and fro in the twilight grey
Terence McDiddler
The fairy beam upon you
The moonlight fades from flower and tree
The night was growing old
The Owl and the Pussy-cat went to sea
The Snail he lives in his hard round house
The stars must make an awful noise
The sun descending in the west
The wind has such a rainy sound
The world has such a rainy sound
The year's at the Spring
There was a Young Lady of Norway
There was a Young maid who said "Why"
There was a Young Person in green
There was an old lady who swallowed a fly
There was an old man in a tree
There was an old man with a beard
There was an old person of Ware
There's a very funny insect that you do not often spy
The all climbed up on a high board-fence
Three little rules we all should Keep
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Tweedledum and Tweedledee
Under a toadstool crept a wee Elf
Wash the dishes
We built a ship upon the stairs
What did she see - oh, what did she see
What is pink? A rose is pink
When cats run home and light is come
When I was down beside the sea
When I was sick and lay a-bed
Where the bee sucks, there suck I
Whisky Frisky
White sheep, white sheep
Who would be
Wouldn't it be funny
Wynken, Blynken, and Nod one night
