INDEX OF FIRST LINES

A Robin Redbreast in a cage 65

At early dawn through London you must go 28

At evening when the lamp is lit 38

Awake, awake, my little boy 45

Behind him lay the gray Azores 86

Bird of the wilderness 72

Blow, wind, blow! and go, mill, go! 6

Bonny Kilmeny gaed up the glen 58

Build me a castle of sand 39

“Bunches of grapes,” says Timothy 35

Buttercups and daisies 24

Cold and raw 7

Come, take up your hats, and away let us haste 30

Come unto these yellow sands 51

Curly Locks! Curly Locks! 3

Daffodils 15

Do you know what the birds say? The sparrow, the dove 25

Draw a pail of water 4

Drummer-boy, drummer-boy, where is your drum 44

Fair daffodils, we weep to see 15

Farewell rewards and fairies 55

First, April, she with mellow showers 22

First came the primrose 26

Go, pretty child, and bear this flower 76

Good-bye, good-bye to Summer 68

Here in the country’s heart 29

Here’s another day, dear 22

Hush a while, my darling, for the long day closes 41

I am the Cat of Cats. I am 12

I had a dove, and the sweet dove died 67

I had a little nut-tree 5

I have a little sister, they call her Peep, Peep 7

I like little Pussy, her coat is so warm 11

I saw a ship a-sailing 4

I wander’d lonely as a cloud 16

In holly hedges starving birds 73

In marble walls as white as milk 8

It was a black Bunny, with white in its head 69

January brings the snow 17

Jenny Wren fell sick 2

Lars Porsena of Clusium 88

Little baby, lay your head 14

Little Lamb, who made thee? 65

Matthew, Mark, Luke and John 2

Merry are the bells, and merry would they ring 1

Mine be a cot beside the hill 33

My maid Mary she minds the dairy 5

My soul is an enchanted boat 78

O hush thee, my baby, thy sire was a knight 46

O look at the moon 8

O Mother-my-Love, if you’ll give me your hand 47

Once on a time an old red hen 36

Once there was a little kitty 10

Over hill, over dale 52

Piping down the valleys wild 80

Pussy-cat Mew jumped over a coal 3

Ring-ting! I wish I were a Primrose 34

Sea shell, Sea shell 12

Sleep, baby, sleep 13

Sweet and low, sweet and low 45

Thank you, pretty cow, that made 71

The Assyrian came down like a wolf on the fold 81

The cock is crowing 24

The cock’s on the housetop 6

The cuckoo’s a bonny bird 13

The garden was pleasant with old-fashioned flowers 54

The north wind doth blow 7

The wind one morning sprang up from sleep 19

There’s a bower of roses by Bendemeer’s stream 63

There was a Knight of Bethlehem 65

Thou whose birth on earth 77

Tiger, Tiger, burning bright 66

Toll the lilies’ silver bells 57

Twinkle, twinkle, little star 9

Under the greenwood tree 28

Up from the south at break of day 83

Up the airy mountain 48

We’ve plough’d our land, we’ve sown our seed 13

What sweeter music can we bring 75

When the wind is in the East 6

Where the bee sucks there suck I 52

Where the pools are bright and deep 62

Wynken, Blynken, and Nod one night 42

Ye elves of hills, brooks, standing lakes and groves 51

You spotted snakes with double tongue 53
