And there are several other verses with subsequent taking by a host of farm denizens including a mouse.
The rhyme is first recorded in Germany in 1826, as "Es fuhr ein Bau'r ins Holz," and was more clearly a courtship game with a farmer choosing a wife, then in turn the selecting of a child, maid, and serving man, who leaves the maid after kissing. This was probably taken to North America by German immigrants, where it next surfaced in New York in 1883 much in its modern form and using a melody similar to "A Hunting We Will Go". From here it seems to have been adopted throughout the United States, Canada (noted from 1893), the Netherlands (1894) and Great Britain; it is first found in Scotland in 1898 and England from 1909. In the early twentieth century it was evident as wide as France ("Le fermier dans son pré"), Sweden ("En bonde i vår by"), Australia, and South Africa. S...

I try to put everything I have learned from every great teacher and through every mistake I have made into each and every piece with as much passion as I have for art and for life itself. Artists have been accused of being self aggrandizing, long winded, name droppers. I hate it when the critics get it right! In an attempt to diffuse those kinds of accusations, regardless of how accurate they may be, I am writing this statement today. Each picture I make begins with a germ of an idea. I visualize how I...

Hi William, haven't done any since college, but printmaking was my favorite discipline, which is perhaps why I enjoy photography today and the effects that we can now edit into photos. Your image here has the delicate lines that give it the appearance of an etching to which a soft watercolor wash has been added. Voted before/Fav today.
William Fields replied:
We always find something in common. Thanks again Cheri!

Thanks on all counts Sandi
Kate Brown
Love this composition! v
William Fields replied:
Kate, thanks very much! It's a spot that can be seen down in a little valley below the road. There's quite a lot of trees and finding a spot where it could be composed was tricky and required finding a safe off the road place to park and hiking up and down the highway. I shot several that I thought would be "the one" but this one stood out.

William Fields replied:
Thanks A&M, the earthy umbers, siennas and tarnished gold are the colors of winter here in Missouri. We get the occasional blanket of white stuff but mainly this is how it looks.
