The Swing

by Robert Louis Stevenson

1     How do you like to go up in a swing,

2         Up in the air so blue?

3     Oh, I do think it the pleasantest thing

4        Ever a child can do!

5     Up in the air and over the wall,

6        Till I can see so wide,

7     Rivers and trees and cattle and all

8        Over the countryside—

9     Till I look down on the garden green,

10       Down on the roof so brown—

11    Up in the air I go flying again,

12       Up in the air and down!
