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 roof2 so brown—
Up in the air I go flying again,
Up in the air and down!
你想不想荡一把秋千，
飞向蓝蓝的天空？
啊，我认为对孩子而言，
那的确其乐无穷！
我荡向空中、越过院墙，
视野豁然开阔，
一览河流树木和牛羊，
乡间美景多又多——
我俯瞰绿色的花园，
掠过褐色的屋顶——
转眼我又飞上蓝天，
悠悠荡荡永不停！
