A Good Boy

A Good Boy
 
I woke before the morning, I was happy all the day,
     I never said an ugly word, but smiled and stuck to play.
 
And now at last the Sun is going down behind the wood,
     And I am very happy, for I know that I’ve been good.
 
My bed is waiting cool and fresh, with linen smooth and fair,
     And I must be off to sleepsin-by, and not forget my prayer.
 
I know that, till to-morrow I shall see the sun arise,
     No ugly dream shall fright my mind, no ugly sight my eyes.
 
But slumber hold me tightly till I waken in the dawn,
     And hear the thrushes singing in the lilacs round the lawn.
 
by Robert Louis Stevenson
 
Robert Louis Balfour Stevenson was born on 13 November 1850 in Edinburgh, Scotland. He became an essayist, a novelist, a travel writer, a poet, and a lyricist. He is known as the author of the adventure novels “Treasure Island” (1883) and “Kidnapped” (1886), the science fiction novel, “The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” (1886), and the poetry collection, “A Child’s Garden of Verses” (1885), all of which remain popular even now with readers of all ages. Robert Louis Balfour Stevenson passed on at 44 years of age on 3 December 1894 in Vailima, Samoan Islands.
