CHAPTER-8- THE ECHOING GREEN
MIND MAP
The Echoing Green consists of three ten-line stanzas,
each in turn composed of five rhyming couplets. The
first stanza focuses on the children playing in the
morning .
The second stanza shifts to the older people recalling
their own youthful pleasures and is possibly set in the
afternoon .
In the third paragraph it takes place at evening , as the
weary children begin their tired journey home.
The concept of ‘Echoing Green’ which relates to the
lush green lawns and parks of nature where children
enjoy playing has been vividly explained in this poem.
