"The Children's Hour" is an art song written by American composer Charles Ives in 1901. The text is taken from Birds of Passage by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, The poem is about Longfellow's nightly interactions between himself and his children named Alice, Allegra, and Edith. The song is in ternary form, with the A sections establishing the atmospheric mood to the piece and the B section mirroring the activity and personalities of the children. Thematically speaking, it is about cherishing the time of your loved ones' innocence. A memory of innocence and simplicity.
