by Robert Louis Stevenson
"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,
Rivers 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!"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,
Rivers 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,
Joining with Little Red House for other Monday Mosaics.

One of my favorite poets! My boys had a tire swing and spent many summer days soaring above the backyard.
