The Swing by Robert Louis Stevenson Children Sky Silhouette Poster

"The Swing" perfectly captures one of childhoods great joys.

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 roof so brown—
Up in the air I go flying again,
Up in the air and down!

The sky and cloud image is from above an abandoned farmhouse in the middle of a field of corn in northern Minnesota. The silhouette came from an 1870s children's book.
