15.Bed In Summer 夏日之床

    （1）

    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。

    （2）

    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。

    （3）

    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？
