A Song of Sixpence.

ING a song of sixpence, a pocketful of rye,
Four-and-twenty blackbirds baked in a pie;
When the pie was opened the birds began to sing—
Was not that a dainty dish to set before a king?

The king was in the counting-house, counting out his money ;
The queen was in the pantry, eating bread and honey ;

The maid was in the garden, hanging out the clothes,

When down came a blackbird and snapped off her nose.
