Ring Around The Rosie


There in the meadow

A group of small children

Are playing a game

Of Ring Around the Rosie

They start off clockwise

Singing,

Ring Around

The Rosie

Pocket full of posies

Ashes

Ashes

We all fall down!

Their shadows follow them happily along

Rising

Falling

Off to the side

Another shadow lurks

With no Maker to follow
