Good-bye to national poetry month, but not good-bye to poetry!

A favorite poem from my childhood—and it continues to conjure up wonderful feelings of swinging higher and higher!

The Swing, 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,
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!
