The 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!
-Robert Louis Stevenson

Oh, the swing! So much joy!
oh this was lovely
and swinging is still my favorite memory of being a kid...next it would be climbing trees
I often wish I could work up the nerve to go to the playground and just swing....
This is one of my favorites, it's in a book that was given to my daughter over 30 years ago. It has been well read and enjoyed by many :)
