Swing, swing, Sing, sing, Here! my throne and I am a king! Swing, sing, Swing, sing, Farewell, earth, for I'm on the wing! Low, high, Here I fly, Like a bird through sunny sky; Free, free, Over the lea, Over the mountain, over the sea! Up, down, Up and down, Which is the way to London Town? Where? Where? Up in the air, Close your eyes and now you are there! Soon, soon, Afternoon, Over the sunset, over the moon; Far, far, Over all bar, Sweeping on from star to star! No, no, Low, low, Sweeping daisies with my toe. Slow, slow, To and fro, Slow -- slow -- slow -- slow. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A SWINGING SONG by MARY HOWITT IN THE SWING by BURGES JOHNSON SWINGING by GRACE DENIO LITCHFIELD WINGED YOUTH; ON A BOY SWINGING by DOROTHEA LAWRANCE MANN THE SHOOGY-SHOO by WINTHROP PACKARD SWING HIGH, SWING LOW by MARJORIE COLES SMITH A RECEIPT TO CURE A LOVE FIT by ANONYMOUS THE DANCE AT THE LITTLE GILA RANCH by ANONYMOUS |
