Jill Anderson - The Nurse's Song lyrics

rate me

When the voices of children are heard on the green<br />

And laughter is heard on the hill<br />

My heart is at rest within my breast<br />

Everything else is still<br />

<br />

Then come home my children<br />

The sun has gone down<br />

And the dues of the night arise<br />

Come, come leave off play<br />

Let us away till the morning appears in the sky<br />

<br />

No, no let us play for it is yet day<br />

We cannot go to sleep<br />

Besides in the skies the little birds fly<br />

And the hills are all covered with sheep<br />

<br />

Well, well go and play till the light fades away<br />

Then go home to bed<br />

The little ones leaped, shouted and laughed<br />

And all the hills echoed
