<h3><SPAN name="27">NURSE’S SONG</SPAN></h3>
When the voices of children are heard on the green,<br/>
And whisperings are in the dale,<br/>
The days of my youth rise fresh in my mind,<br/>
My face turns green and pale.
<br/><br/>Then come home, my children, the sun is gone down,<br/>
And the dews of night arise;<br/>
Your spring and your day are wasted in play,<br/>
And your winter and night in disguise.
