Alphabetical List of First Lines
A flea and a fly in a flue
A frisky lamb
A little boy once played so loud
All along the backwater
An old Jack-o’-lantern lay on the ground
As I was going up the stair
A watch will tell the time of day
A wee little worm in a hickory-nut
Betty Botta bought some butter
Between the dark and the daylight
Buttercup nodded and said good-by
Dorothy Rose had a turned-up nose
Elephants walking
From breakfast on through all the day
Gaily bedight
Godfrey Gordon Gustavus Gore—
Great fleas have little fleas upon their backs to bite ’em
Hail! Ho!
He clasps the crag with crooked hands
How do you like to go up in a swing
Hundreds of stars in the pretty sky
Hurt no living thing
I am the cat of cats. I am
If all the land were apple-pie
If down his throat a man should choose
I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me
I love little Pussy
I met a little Elfman once
I’m nobody! Who are you?
In an ocean, ’way out yonder
I never saw a Purple Cow
In the drinking-well
I think that I shall never see
Last night I had a horrid dream—
Listen . . .
Little Orphant Annie’s come to our house to stay
Little Willie, in the best of sashes
Mary had a little lamb
Minnie and Winnie
Mr. Finney had a turnip
My brother Roger said to me
October turned my maple’s leaves to gold
O Moon, Mr. Moon
On the top of the Crumpetty Tree
O sailor, come ashore
O The Raggedy Man! He works fer Pa
Over the river and through the wood
The fisherman goes out at dawn
The friendly cow all red and white
The gingham dog and the calico cat
The lamps now glitter down the street
The little toy dog is covered with dust
The man in the wilderness asked of me
The Mayor of Scuttleton burned his nose
The Moon’s the North Wind’s cooky
The night was growing old
The Oak is called the king of trees
The Owl and the Pussy-cat went to sea
The Peppery Man was cross and thin
There was a little girl
There was a young lady of Niger
There were two ghostesses
The sun was shining on the sea
The woggly bird sat on the whango tree
This is the short, sweet, sorrowful tale
Three little kittens lost their mittens
Tomorrow’s the fair
’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
Tyger! Tyger! burning bright
Under a toadstool
Up the airy mountain
What do we plant when we plant the tree?
What is pink? a rose is pink
When all the days are hot and long
Whenever the moon and stars are set
When good King Arthur ruled the land
When the green woods laugh with the voice of joy
When the moon shines o’er the corn
When the voices of children are heard on the green
When you visit the barber
Whisky, frisky
Who has seen the wind?
Wynken, Blynken, and Nod one night
