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!
参考译文
你喜欢荡一趟秋千， 置身于蓝蓝的晴空吗？
啊，我认为这是小孩所能做到的最愉快的玩耍。
越过墙外高踞天空，
直到我能望见如此广大的世界，
河流、树木、牛群，还有整个的乡村。
直到我俯瞰着翠绿的花园,以及棕色的屋顶
我又飞上天去， 在天地间上下穿梭！
