在夏天入睡

罗伯特·路易斯·史蒂文森

冬天，起床时天还没亮，

照我穿衣的是黄色烛光。

夏天，一切完全不一样，

我得在白天就爬上床。

当我必须躺到床上，

鸟儿们却在树上蹦蹦跳跳，大人们的脚步声在街上，依然在我的耳畔熙熙攘攘。你会不会也觉得入睡困难？整片天空如此清澈湛蓝，而我偏偏又那么爱玩，

天色未暗便心有不甘！

Bed in Summer

Robert Louis Stevenson

In winter get up at night

And dress by yellow candlelight. 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 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
