Lost Lyrics of Old Nursery Rhymes It's no wonder the historical origins of Nursery Rhymes have become obscure as even though the nursery rhymes lyrics may have changed only slightly over so many re-tellings the English language itself has changed over the last six hundred years as anyone reading Shakespeare for the first time could not fail to notice! As I was born and bred in London my favourite nursery rhymes are London Bells and its counterpart 'Oranges and Lemons' which recreate the sound of the chimes of many old churches once in London, however now I know the origins of the lyrics for this nursery rhyme the true rhyme meaning and origins of the last sentences are even more sinister than I had imagined as a child. Knowledge of English History and the English language undoubtedly assisted in the analysis of the lyrics and origins of these nursery rhymes, however we can normally offer little definitive proof other than author names and earliest traceable publication dates of the nursery rhymes. |
