THE ECHOING GREEN
And soon they all say,
‘Such, such were the joys
When we all, girls and boys,
In our youth time were seen
On the echoing green.’
Till the little ones, weary,
No more can be merry;
The sun does descend,
And our sports have an end.
Round the laps of their mothers
Many sisters and brothers,
Like birds in the nest,
Are ready for rest,
And sport no more seen
On the darkening green.
William Blake
