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 hoping on the tree,

Or hear the grown-up people’s feet

Still going post me in the street.

And does it 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?

* Rhyming words

A poem by Wendy Yang

And it will not become a history.

Before it was raining like babies’ crying

And now it is sunny as bright as my smiling.
