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 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.
