夏之眠
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.

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 I have to go to bed early.

When all the sky is clear and blue,

And I should like so much to play,

And does it seem hard to you,

To have to go to bed by day?

冬日里我夜里起床，

借着昏黄的烛光穿衣裳。

夏日里可不一样，

我不得不白日里就上床睡觉。

小鸟儿仍在树上蹦蹦跳跳，

大人们的脚步声,

还在大街上回响，

我却得早早上床睡觉。

天空还是那么蔚蓝，明亮，

我多么想嬉戏，玩耍，

你是否觉得:

这时候睡觉就难入梦乡
