"Ring Around the Rosie" is a children's nursery rhyme believed by some to have origins related to the Black Death. The lyrics describe symptoms of the plague such as the ring-shaped rash ('rosie') and the flowers carried for the scent-mask ('pocket full of posies'). The connection, however, is debated among historians and scholars.
