Over in the Meadow

"Over in the Meadow" is a popular counting rhyme written by Olive A. Wadsworth (pen name of Katherine Floyd Dana[1]) in 1870.[2] Many variations on the original wording exist. It has also been set to music, and has been used as the text of numerous picture books.

Sample verse

Over in the meadow,
In the sand in the sun
Lived an old mother toadie
And her little toadie one.
"Wink!" said the mother;
"I wink!" said the one,
So they winked and they blinked
In the sand in the sun.[2]
