[NURSE’S SONG]
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 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.
