An illustration from Sing-song : a nursery rhyme book, 1915, leaf 100
Margaret has a milking-pail, And she rises early ;Thomas has a threshing-flail, And he s up betimes.Sometimes crossing through the grass Where the dew lies pearly,They say Good-morrow as they passBy the leafy limes. … In the meadow—what in the meadow?Bluebells, buttercups, meadowsweet,And fairy rings for the childrens feetIn the meadow. In the garden--what in the garden ?Jacobs-ladder and Solomons-seal,And Love-lies-bleeding beside All-healIn the garden. 79
