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!
The addition of the dirty feet adds so beautifully to the whimsicality of the photo! That would never have been a Jessie Wilcox Smith-era illustration, but it's perfect for the present day children!
