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!
Robert Louis Stevenson, "The Swing"
This is my very favorite poem...when I was younger, I memorized it and said it quite often.
I am so thrilled to know that my daughter shares my (and Robert Louis Stevenson's) love for the swing.... it is the pleasantest thing ever a child (and her parents) can do!
