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 their nest,
Are ready for rest;
And sport no more seen,
On the darkening Green.
And soon they all say.
Such, such were the joys.
When we all girls & boys,
In our Youth -time were seen,
On the Echoing Green.
