The Swing

Up in the air so blue?

Oh, I do think it the pleasantest thing

Ever a child can do!

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!
