contains not only nursery rhymes, but all kinds of old-fashioned poems which - I guess - children got to read in the 19th and beginning 20th century. Beautiful illustrations in black & white

- Round about in a fair ring-a
Thus we dance and thus we sing-a - First words
- Bell horses, bell horses,
What time of day? - Last words
- (Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.)So, now my songs are done.
Leave me tonight awhile and the starlight gleaming,
To silence and sweet dreaming,
Here where no music calls, no beauty shakes me;
Till in my heart the birds sing to the sun
And the new dawn wakes me.
--P.H.B Lyon
