Here is the lullaby that my mother and her mother's mother sang to their babies.The Babes in the Wood
My dear do you know,
How a long time ago,
Two poor little children,
Whose names I don't know,
Were stolen away
On a fine summers day,
And left in a wood,
As I've heard people say,
Poor babes in the wood! poor babes in the wood!
Oh! don't you remember the babes in the wood?
And when it was night,
So sad was their plight,
The sun it went down,
And the moon gave no light!
They sobbed and they sighed,
And they bitterly cried,
And the poor little things,
They lay down and died.
Poor babes in the wood! poor babes in the wood!
Oh! don't you remember the babes in the wood?
And when they were dead,
The robins so red,
Brought strawberry leaves,
And over them spread;
And all the day long,
The branches among,
They mournfully whistled,
And this was their song;
Poor babes in the wood! poor babes in the wood!
Oh! don't you remember the babes in the wood?

My mother who has been deceased since 1979 used to sing a song to me as a child in the 1960's. I believe that it may have come from this story but have never been able to trace it back to it's origin. Maybe you can help.
"Oh don't you remember a long time ago
two little babes who's names I don't know
Who strolled away on a cold winters day, got lost in the woods so I heard people say.
And when it was night, how sad was their plight
the sun had gone down and the moon gave no light
And the poor little babes they cried and they cried
And the poor little babes they laid down and died.
And when they were dead, the Robin's so red
took strawberry leaves and over them spread
And all the day long, they sing their sweet song
Poor babes in the woods, poor babes they were dead.

| This "myth" "Fairy tale" is true, it has been passed down in our family this was supposedly the neice and nephew of Earl Robert Degrey , who was a relative in about 1532...not a hoax but true.
