A Child’s Garden of Verses
“The Swing”
Robert Louis Stevenson

 

A boy standing next to swing 
 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!
