The Swing Poem text

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!    R. L. Stevenson
