Nurse`s Song

Autor:

When voices of children are heard on the green,
And laughing is heard on the hill,
My heart is at rest within my breast,
And everything else is still.
`Then come home, my children, the sun is gone down,
And the dews of night arise;
Come, come, leave off play, and let us away,
Till the morning appears in the skies.`

`No, no, let us play, for it is yet day,
And we cannot go to sleep;
Besides, in the sky the little birds fly,
And the hills are all covered with sheep.`
`Well, well, go and play till the light fades away,
And then go home to bed.`
The little ones leaped, and shouted, and laughed,
And all the hills echoed.
