Nurses song: experience

• "whisperings are in the dale"


  Nurse is cynical and sees childhood as a threat+ possible conspiracy and distrust from the children
• "the days of my youth rise fresh in my mind and my face turns green and pale"


  Possible jealousy of childhood or that the nurse had a bad childhood (which creates a cycle of abuse)
• "come home my children. The sun is gone down."


  Punctuation and controlling/demanding language
• "your spring and your day are waisted in play"


  Lack of regard for the importance of childhood and possible imagery of child labour
