Bed In Summer   夏日之床
by R L Stevenson

In winter I get up at night                冬日我大清早起床
And dress by yellow candle-light 借着黄色的蠋光穿裳。
In summer quite the other way,     夏日完全相反，
I have to go to bed by day           我必须在日间上床。 (来源：EnglishCN英语博客基地)

I have to go to bed and see                 我必上床且看
The birds still hopping on the tree,     鸟儿还在树梢跃荡，
Or hear the grown-up people's feet    抑或聆听成年人的脚声
Still going past me in the street         仍旧在街道走过我的身旁。 (来源：英语麦当劳www.EnglishCN.com)

And does it not seem hard to you,    它对你来说难道不为难吗？
When all the sky is clear and blue,    在明亮而蔚蓝的天空当前，
And I should like so much to play,      而我如此喜欢玩耍，
To have to go to bed by day?            却必须在白天就上床？ (来源：英语麦当劳－英语杂志 EnglishCN.com)
