Robert Louis Stevenson Quotes About Summer

Quotes about: Summer

• How do you like to go up in a swing,
  Up in the air so blue?
  Oh, I do think it the pleasantest thing
  Ever a child can do!
  Up in the air and over the wall,
  Till I can see so wide,
  River and trees and cattle and all
  Over the countryside.
  Till I look down on the garden green,
  Down on the roof so brown-
  Up in the air I go flying again,
  Up in the air and down!

  Robert Louis Stevenson

  Summer, Children, Wall

  A Child's Garden of Verses "The Swing" l. 1 (1885)

• 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 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?

  Robert Louis Stevenson

  Summer, Spring, Winter

  A Child's Garden of Verses "Bed in Summer" l. 1 (1885)

• In the other gardens
  And all up the vale,
  From the autumn bonfies
  See the smoke trail!
  Pleasant summer over
  And all the summer flowers,
  The red fire blazes,
  the grey smoke towers.
  Sing a song of seasons!
  Something bright in all,
  Flowers in the summer
  Fires in the fall!

  Robert Louis Stevenson
