The Works of Robert Louis Stevenson - Swanston Edition, Vol. 14
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!

TIME TO RISE

A birdie with a yellow bill

A birdie

Hopped upon the window sill,

Cocked his shining eye and said:

“Ain’t you ’shamed, you sleepy-head?”

LOOKING-GLASS RIVER

Smooth it slides upon its travel,

Smooth

Here a wimple, there a gleam—

O the clean gravel!

O the smooth stream!
