The Swing 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 child can do! 你可喜歡盪鞦韆, 高高直上藍天? 最最好玩就是這一件 小孩最愛盪鞦韆!
Up in the air and over the wall, Till I can see so wide, Rivers and trees and cattle and all Over the countryside– over:across 高空之中,磚牆之上, 廣闊天地盡收眼底, 河啊樹啊牛啊,還有— 鄉間風光一覽無遺.
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! look down on: 往下看某物 下望庭園滿滿綠意, 才見褐色屋頂— 再次騰空又入青雲, 空中上來又下去!
