你怎樣感覺 坐在鞦韆中飄蕩,
飛在清新蔚藍的高天上?
啊,我想那是非常令人愉快的事
讓孩子永遠興奮 歡暢 嚮往!
盪入藍天 跨越圍牆,
我心曠神怡見四周如此寬廣,
河水流淌樹叢疊綠到處馬牛羊
萬物盡收眼底 在我鄉村的土地上---
當看到下方綠草如茵的花園,
我已降回到深褐色的房頂上---
再次騰越飛翔 我衝上高空,
一遍又一遍 上下飄悠擺盪!

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 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!
--- By Robert Louis Stevenson
