BED DURING EXAMS, by CLARA WARREN VAIL First Line: I used to go to bed at night Last Line: I cannot get to bed till day? Subject(s): Stevenson, Robert Louis (1850-1894) | ||||||||
I USED to go to bed at night, And only worked when day was light. But now 'tis quite the other way, I never get to bed till day. I look up from my work and see The morning light shine in on me, And listen to a warning knell -- The tinkle of the rising bell. And does there not seem cause to weep, When I should like so much to sleep, I have to sing this mournful lay, I cannot get to bed till day? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...STEVENSON'S BIRTHDAY by KATHERINE WISE MILLER UNDERWOODS: BOOK 1: 21.
