Happy Friday Everyone!
I hope everyone is well. I know the world is rather scary at the moment with the Coronavirus so I hope everyone remains safe and well.
My chosen poem is all about the lengthening evenings, I must admit I am looking forward to a bit more sun.
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 hoping 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
I so love this poem!
