A little girl seems to be having the time of her life doing her favorite thing...swinging.  Her golden hair and dress are flying in the wind and she seems quite carefree as butterflies flutter past.  The poem in this design is the first verse to "The Swing" by Robert Louis Stevenson:

"How do you like
To go up in a swing,
Up in the air so blue?
Oh, I do think it the pleasantist thing
Ever a child can do!
