Nursery rhymes

A nursery rhyme is a rhyme or lullaby being sung first or terminated by the nurse ( nurse ) of the child and his mother and later when the child gets older, used to raise the child and to learn things. Nursery rhymes were often orally from generation to generation and were often anonymous, although some writers such as John of Fleets collections of nursery rhymes aanlegden and published (including in Dutch baker- and nursery rhymes ).

An example of a known baker rhyme is Sleep, baby, sleep :
 * Sleep, baby, sleep
 * outside there is a sheep.
 * A sheep with white feet
 * drinking his milk so sweetly.
 * Sleep, baby, sleep
 * outside there is a sheep.
