Explanation:
- According to the poem THE SWINGRobert Louis Stevenson - 1850-1894The Swing’ by Robert Louis Stevenson is a three-stanza poem that is separated into sets of four lines, or quatrains.
- These quatrains one should take note of how the pattern bounces along, mimicking the up and down motion of the swing.The metrical pattern is also quite simple, it alternates every other line between ten and six syllables.
- This, along with the consistent rhyme scheme, makes the text quite easy to read as there are no surprise twists or turns The poem begins with the speaker asking the listener how much they like to swing up into the blue air.
- This is a rhetorical question, as seen by the speaker’s quick response. They love it more than anything and think it’s the best thing a child could spend their time doing.
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!
