Ode to Mimi and the Swing Song

Every time Ben swings I can hear my Mimi's beautiful voice singing....
How do you love to go up in the swing...up in the air so blue. My I do think its the pleasantest thing ever a child could do.
I did a quick search and found the full poem, if you are interested.
THE SWING
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!
