Ringa ringa roses

The Truth The earliest known use of the rhyme is the Victorian era, and it almost certainly doesn’t date back to the plague (any of them). While the lyrics can be interpreted as being loosely connected to death and disease prevention, this is believed to be just that, an interpretation given in the mid-twentieth century by overeager commentators, and are not a direct result of plague experience, or anything to do with it. The last line is often followed by the singers, usually children, all falling down to the ground. You can certainly see how that variant sounds like it might be something to do with the plague: the first two lines as references to the bundles of flowers and herbs which people wore to ward away the plague, and the latter two lines referring to illness (sneezing) and then death, leaving the singers dead on the ground. It’s easy to see why a rhyme could be connected to the plague. The most famous of these was the Black Death, when a disease swept across Europe in 1346–53, killing over a third of the population. Most people believe this was the bubonic plague, which causes black lumps over the victim, giving it the name, although there are people who reject this. The plague was spread by the bacteria on fleas on rats and devastated the British Isles as much as continental Europe. Society, economy, and even war was changed by the plague, so why wouldn’t such a massive and horrifying event have ingrained itself into the public consciousness in the form of a rhy...

We all fall down” We all have heard these lines in our childhood as the ‘ring-a-ring-a-roses’ English rhyme gets transcended to the children of every generation. But did you know that the apparently vibrant and light hearted poem is speaking of death and misery from another pandemic that had hit London and other parts of Europe in the form of the Bubonic plague? The Black Death that had started in the middle of the 1300s had never really ended for hundreds of years. Caused by a bacteria called the Yersinia pestis, the global pandemic had resulted in over 50 million deaths across Europe. According to a blog by James FitzGerald published in the He writes that the famous ‘roses’ in the poem actually are a euphemism for the deadly red rashes that were associated with the patients suffering from the bubonic plague. On the other hand, the ‘posies’ must have been some preventive measure. Now coming to the ‘A-tishoo’ part, this obviously points to the sneezing symptoms and the last line of ‘We all fall down’ signifies everyone’s quick approaching death. Although the rhyme might have found its origins in the death and misery of a global pandemic, it has been widely adapted and modified through the years. An 1883 version of the folklore presents us with a different form of poem: “A ring, a ring o’roses A pocket full of posies One for Jack and one for Jim and one for little Moses A curchey in and a curchey out And a curchey all together” A There are also
