NURSE’S SONGS
 |
| William blake . |
When the 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 it still.
Then come leave 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 I the skies.
ON 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
