Ring o’ Roses

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

Nodding into slumber on the blue hill’s crest.

See the little clouds play Ring a ring o’ roses,

Planting Fairy gardens in the red-rose West.

Greet him for us, cloudlets, say we’re not forgetting

Golden gifts of sunshine, merry hours of play.

Ring a ring o’ roses round the sweet sun’s setting,
