Swinging - Poem for Kids
In the delightful short poem "Swinging," the imagery of swinging to meet the moon and the joy of observing the world from above is vividly portrayed. The rhythmic repetition of "Swing, swing, swing" creates a playful tone, echoing the carefree feeling of a leisurely afternoon. As the narrator swings high and low, fast and slow, the transition from dusk to night is beautifully captured, with the sun setting to pave the way for a bright new day. The swaying poplars and twinkling lights in the town add a charming touch to the scene, emphasizing the beauty of simple moments. With its whimsical rhythm and captivating descriptions, "Swinging" invites readers to join in the enchanting journey through the drowsy afternoon and into the night sky.
Swinging
SWING, swing, swing,
Through the drowsy afternoon ;
Swing, swing, swing,
Up I go to meet the moon.
Swing, swing, swing,
I can see as I go high
Far along the crimson sky ;
I can see as I come down
The tops of houses in the town ;
High and low,
Fast and slow,
Swing, swing, swing.
Swing, swing, swing,
See ! the sun is gone away ;
Swing, swing, swing,
Gone to make a bright new day.
Swing, swing, swing.
I can see as up I go
The poplars waving to and fro,
I can see as I come down
The lights are twinkling in the town,
High and low,
Fast and slow,
Swing, swing, swing.
