The Swing
BY ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON
Read by Richard
Audio edited by Jana
Hello this is Richard, and I’m here with a soaring poem 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!
And that was the Swing, by Robert Louis Stevenson. A short but sweet poem that made me feel just a little bit giddy.
For now, from me Richard, at Storynory, goodbye
A really good poem! I recommend more poems like this.

If I was on a swing I start low and a few minutes later you get really high and you put your feet up and look at the blue sky.If you stop the swing and drag your feet and you will get lower.

“The Swing” by Robert Louis Stevenson was one of my favorite poems as a child in the 1950s. Swinging was the closest I felt to flying, and it made me feel free. The best swing is one that hangs by ropes from a very high tree branch so that it has a very long arc to go back and forth, back and forth, and on and on.
