"The Swing" is a poem that describes something all kids have thought of while swinging… What if I went really, really high up on the swing? What would I see?

The Swing
Poem
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!

Written by Robert Louis Stevenson.
