• 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
