THE SWING

Robert Louis Stevenson 1850-94

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!
