In winter I get up at night And dress by yellow candle-light. 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? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...O DULL, COLD NORTHERN SKY by ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON A GOOD PLAY by ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON ALCAICS: TO H.
