Answer 1

Out of the sea came he!

And he shown bright, and on the right

Went down into the sea."

Which were blackest none could tell,

But long lashes veiled a light,

That had else been so bright."

To while away-forbidden things-

My heart would feel to be a crime

Unless it trembled with the strings."

Gently down the stream.

Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily;

Gentle down the stream;

Merrily merrily merrily merrily

Merrily as it could be.

To see a fine lady upon a white horse.

She shall have music wherever she goes.

Roses are Red

Roses are red,

Violets are blue,

Sugar is sweet,

And so are you.

Look out for cars.

Without any Rs?

Rain, Rain, Go Away

Rain, rain, go away,

Come again another day,

Little Johnnie want to play.

Rain, rain, go to Spain,

Never show your face again!

Ring Around a Rosie

Ring around the rosey,

A pocketful of posies.

ashes, ashes.

We all fall down.
