"Bed in summer"
Robert Louis Stevenson
In winter I get up at night
I get up early in the morning in winter
And dress by yellow candle-light.?
Wear clothes by yellow candle-light.
In summer quite the other way,
In summer quite the opposite,
I have to go to bed by day.?
I have to go to bed during the day.
I have to go to bed and see?
I must go to bed and see
The birds still hopping on the tree,?
Birds are still fluttering in the treetops,
Or hear the grown-up people's feet?
Or listen to the footsteps of adults
Still going past me in the street.?
Still passing me on the street.
And does it not seem hard to you,?
Doesn’t it seem hard to you?
When all the sky is clear and blue,?
When all the sky is clear and blue,?
And I should like so much to play,?< /p>
And I love playing so much,
To have to go to bed by day?
But I have to go to bed during the day?
Extended information:
"Bedin Summer" is the opening work of the poetry collection "A Child's Garden of Verses". It is a simple flower in the garden of the author's childhood memories. And the little flower that lasts forever. The entire poem is written from the perspective of a child. The child thought with resentment, "Why do I have to go to bed in broad daylight in the summer?"
In the summer in Edinburgh, it is still very bright at eight or nine o'clock in the evening, and adults have become accustomed to it. However, in the heart of the innocent child, it became a question that could not be relieved. This is a child's thinking, a helpless summer night in a child's eyes. What he never forgets is: How much time was wasted playing! The time is night and the sky is day. Lying in bed doing nothing, and resisting the "temptation" outside the window, a child who is unwilling to sleep is vividly sketched.
