Swing

The Swing (Robert Lewis 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, 
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! 

This Blythe doll is Cousin Olivia, taking a test ride in the swing I put together using a piece of cardboard and some decorative cord. The picture is a flat lay, so it was easy to make her stay put on the seat! For the theme “Swing” in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr.
