Songs & Poems - When Jenny Wren Was Young:
When Jenny Wren Was Young
'Twas once upon a time, when Jenny
Wren was young,
So daintily she danced and so prettily she sung,
Robin Redbreast lost his heart, for he was a gallant
bird.
So he doffed his hat to Jenny Wren, requesting to be
heard.
"Oh, dearest Jenny Wren, if you will but be mine,
You shall feed on cherry pie and drink new currant
wine,
I'll dress you like a goldfinch or any peacock
gay,
So, dearest Jen, if you'll be mine, let us appoint
the day."
Jenny blushed behind her fan and thus declared her
mind:
"Since dearest Bob I love you well, I'll take your
offer kind.
Cherry pie is very nice and so is currant wine,
But I must wear my plain brown gown
and never go too fine.
About Nursery Rhymes
A nursery rhyme is a traditional song or poem taught
to young children, originally in the nursery. Learning
nursery rhymes assists in the development of vocabulary
and in some cases basic counting skills. It also
introduces children to enjoy music. Often actions,
movement or dances are associated with these nursery
rhymes and children songs.
