Sounds like a big explosion with lots of casualties.
That one's actually about the Black Death, the plague in Europe.

"ring around the rosy"-refers to the characteristic sores a plague victim would get on their body.

"pocket full of posies"-the upper class used to walk around with flowers pressed to their faces because of the overpowering stench of death.

"ashes, ashes... we all fall down"-they'd burn the bodies of the dead, and catch the plague in the process, so they'd die sometimes too.
