The Swing by Robert Louis Stevenson, 1850 - 1894

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, 

             Over the countryside—

             Till I can see so wide, 

River and trees and cattle and all 




Up in the air I go flying again, 

Till I look down on the garden green, 

              Down on the roof so brown—

              Up in the air and down!
