Bed in Summer

Bed in Summer (by Robert Louis Stevenson, 1850 – 1894)

In winter I get up at night
And dress by yellow candlelight.
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?

waterfall 瀑布

望廬山瀑布 (李白)

日照香爐生紫煙,
遙看瀑布挂前川。
飛流直下三千尺,
疑是銀河落九天。

Viewing the Waterfall at Mount Lu (by Li Bai [701 – 762])

Sunlight streaming on Incense Stone kindles violet smoke;
far off I watch the waterfall plunge to the long river,
flying waters descending straight three thousand feet,
till I think the Milky Way has tumbled from the ninth height of Heaven.

瀑布 watrfall

precious stone 寶石

Precious Stones (by Christina Georgina Rossetti, 1830 – 1894)

An emerald is as green as grass,
A ruby red as blood,
A sapphire shines as blue as heaven,
But a flint lies in the mud.

A diamond is a brilliant stone
To catch the world's desire,
An opal holds a rainbow light,
But a flint holds fire.
