Currants on a bush, And figs upon a stem,And cherries on a bending bough, And Ned to gather them. Playing at bob cherry Tom and Nell and Hugh: Cherry bob ! cherry bob !There s a bob for you. Tom bobs a cherry For gaping snapping Hugh,While curly-pated Nelly Snaps at it too. Look, look, look— Oh… … I have but one rose in the world,And my one rose stands a-drooplng Oh, when my single rose is dead There 11 be but thorns for stooping. 89
