BED IN SUMMER, by Robert Louis Stevenson.

In winter I get up at night
   And dress by yellow candlelight.
In summer, quite the other way,
   I have to go to bed by day.

I have to go to bed and see
   The birds still hopping on the tree,
Or hear the grown-up people's feet
    Still going past me in the street.

And does it not seem hard to you, 
     When all  the sky is clear and blue'
And I should like so much to play,
      To have to go to bed by day?



-Hope
