And I should like so much to play,
When there is a playground next to me, (that is, I want to play more)
To have to go to bed by day?
But I can only go to bed early and go to bed early?

Bed in Summer —— by Robert Louis Stevenson
Summer Sleep
In winter I get up at night
p>In winter I get up at night,
And dress by yellow candle-light.
I wear clothes by yellow candle-light.
In summer quite the other way,
It is different in summer,
I have to go to bed by day.
I had to sleep and go to bed during the day.
I have to go to bed and see
I can only look out from the bed,
The birds still hopping on the tree,
The birds are still jumping in the trees,
Or hear the grown-up people's feet
Still going past me in the street.
Still echoing in the street.
And does it not seem hard to you,
Do you think this is too ridiculous?
When all the sky is clear and blue,
When the sky is so blue and bright,
And I should like so much to play,
When there is a playground beside me,
To have to go to bed by day?
But I can only go to bed early and go to bed early?
