Cole's Regret

Bed in Summer


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 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?


By, Robert Louis Stevenson
