Anonymous (English nursery rhymes)

traditional; recorded 17th–19th century


The English nursery rhymes are anonymous traditional verses of the cradle and the playground: lullabies, riddles, counting-out and game rhymes, jingles, charms and short tales in rhyme. Most were handed down by voice for generations, and the earliest of them were written down in the seventeenth century, although many are certainly older.

This archive follows The Nursery Rhymes of England, collected by James Orchard Halliwell (first edition, London, 1842), which arranges more than six hundred rhymes in eighteen classes, from the historical and the literal to games, lullabies and relics. The text is taken from the Project Gutenberg edition of the Warne printing of 1886, illustrated by W. B. Scott. Halliwell's class is given in each poem's note; his notes and the directions for games are omitted.
