Bed In Summer 夏日之床

　　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。

　　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。

　　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？
