Is anyone familiar with a Polish nursery rhyme or poem that begins: Lizzie Lizzie, spinning top, Ever dancing, never stop. Dancing in the morning dew, Barefoot tap, one two, one two. Lizzie Lizzie, spinning top, Ever dancing, never stop. Dancing in the sun’s warm rays, Shining brightly at midday. Do you know the author, anythig about it or the words in Polish?

TrishSinclair: Is anyone familiar with a Polish nursery rhyme or poem that begins: I have to point out the obvious and bring to your attention that that poem or nursery rhyme is in English not Polish. What makes you think the author is Polish? Edit* by Floella Benjamin (Author) the book (click here) Floella K. Y. Benjamin OBE (born in Pointe-à-Pierre, Trinidad, 23 September 1949) [1] is a British actress, author [2], television presenter, businesswoman and Chancellor of the University of Exeter. I just googled a small section of the poem.

Oh, sorry. I found it in a collection of nursery rhymes from other countries. It was in English, apparently translated from the Polish. It had other verses. I was just wondering if it was well-known and thought someone on this forum might be familiar with it since many of you speak both Polish and English. I can write the publisher for more information, but thought my question might be answered more easily here.
