Quotations
When the voices of children are heard on the green
And laughing is heard on the hill,
My heart is at rest within my breast
And everything else is still
Exp: Here, the nurse is kind. She feels calm and peaceful, hearing and seeing children play and laugh. She values the happiness of children. She trusts the children.
“No, no, let us play, for it is yet day
And we cannot go to sleep;
“Well, well, go and play till the light fades away
And then go home to bed.”
The little ones leaped & shouted and laugh’d
And all the hills echoed.
