13 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

pleasantest : most enjoyable countryside : land with fields and

cattle : cows and bulls woods outside towns and
cities
