A young boy sitting in bed at night, looking out of an open window at a moonlit, starry sky and distant houses. The room is cozy with a nightstand, a lamp, potted plants, and plush toys, including a rabbit, on the bed.

Bed in Summer

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 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?

Robert Louis Stevenson
from A Child’s Garden of Verses (1885)
