Ring around the Rosie, A pocket full of Posies, Ashes Ashes we all fall down.
Ring around the Rosie lyric meaning:
Ring around the rosie is a reference to the black sores that would appear on your body as part of the plague. Your "rosie" is around the center of the back of your hand.
A pocket full of posies is a reference to people would carrying posies (flowers) around to not smell the sickening scent of dead bodies everywhere.
Ashes Ashes signifies the ashes from all the bodies being burned on pyres. Bodies couldn't be buried or else the infection would spread.
We all fall down signifies death or people falling down to hell because of their harsh and cruel ways.
