A Poem for Today

One item I would like to add to my new years resolution, hey do this cause it will be good, bucket type list is I would like to learn more poetry. So without any further ado - here is a poem I found today to share with you.

Bed in Summer

BY ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON

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?
