Explore "The Children's Hour" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.

Between the dark and the daylight, / When the night is beginning to lower, / Comes a pause in the day's occupations, / That is known as the Children's Hour.

I hear in the chamber above me / The patter of little feet, / The sound of a door that is opened, / And voices soft and sweet.
