1. Fred and his little sister Lucy are on the swing in the garden.
2. Look what a nice large seat of wood it has! It is so large that it holds them both.
3. This is the first day Lucy has been on the swing, so she is a little afraid.
4. But Fred will take care of her, and keep her from falling.
5. Look at her as she sits by his side and holds on by the rope.
6. When all is ready, Fred says, One, two, three, and away!
Up and down, on we go;
Here we swing to and fro!
