English Bed in Summer

Bed in Summer
In winter I get up at night
And dress by yellow candle-light.1
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 hopping2 on the tree,
Or hear the grown-up3 people's feet
Still going past me in the street.
And does it not seem4 hard to you,
When all the sky5 is clear6 and blue,
And I should like so much to play,
To have to go to bed by day.
Robert Louis Stevenson
