Nurses Song (1)

字號:


     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 cover'd with sheep.'
     `Well, well, go and play till the light fades away,
     And then go home to bed.'
     The little ones leapèd and shoutèd and laugh'd
     And all the hills echoèd.
