Katherine Mansfield - A Day in Bed
Work rating: Medium

I wish I had not got a cold,
The wind is big and wild,
I wish that I was very old,
Not just a little child.

Somehow the day is very long
Just keeping here, alone;
I do not like the big wind`s song,
He`s growling for a bone

He`s like an awful dog we had
Who used to creep around
And snatch at things—he was so bad,
With just that horrid sound.

I`m sitting up and nurse has made
Me wear a woolly shawl;
I wish I was not so afraid;
It`s horrid to be small.

It really feels quite like a day
Since I have had my tea;
P`raps everybody`s gone away
And just forgotten me.

And oh!  I cannot go to sleep
Although I am in bed.
The wind keeps going creepy-creep
And waiting to be fed.
