Solution
Miss. Meadows changed the song for the children. She asked them to sing a joyful song beginning with flowers o’er laden. When she found that some children were still stuck up in a despondent mood, she reprimanded them. She told the girls, don’t look so doleful. It ought to sound warm, joyful, and eager. And this time Miss. Meadow’s voice dominated the voices of all the little angels in her classroom. It was deep and glowing with a cheerful expression.
