Nurse's Song Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFE FGHGFIJKWhen the voices of children are heard on the green | A |
And laughing is heard on the hill | B |
My heart is at rest within my breast | C |
And everything else is still | B |
Then come home my children the sun is gone down | D |
And the dews of night arise | E |
Come come leave off play and let us away | F |
Till the morning appears in the skies | E |
- | |
No no let us play for it is yet day | F |
And we cannot go to sleep | G |
Besides in the sky the little birds fly | H |
And the hills are all covered with sheep | G |
Well well go and play till the light fades away | F |
And then go home to bed | I |
The little ones leaped and shouted and laughed | J |
And all the hills echoed | K |
