How would you like to go up in a swing -
Up in the air so blue?
Oh, I do think it's the pleasant-est thing
That ever a child could do!
Up in the air, and over the wall -
Till I can see so high -
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!
~ Author Unknown by this Mama
(Taught to my boys by Grammy Quint and recited every time they swing!)

That poem is in a Childcraft book that we had when I was a kid, and my mom gave the set of books to me. I read it to my kids when they were young. Robert Louis Stevenson is the author. Thanks for the fun memories!
