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…

—Robert Louis Stevenson, “Bed in Summer”
published in A CHILD’S GARDEN OF VERSES (1885)

@scotlit oh my GOSH, I read the first line of this and most of the rest of it came back to me, in spite of not having read it for 35+ years! I loved that poem, and that book. THANK YOU for sharing! 😍
