How many gentle flowers grow |
|
In an English country garden? |
|
I'll tell you now of some I know |
|
And those I'll miss I hope you'll pardon |
|
Daffodils, heart's ease and flox |
|
Meadowsweet and lilly stalks |
|
Gentain, lupine and tall hollihocks |
|
Roses, foxgloves, snowdrops, forget-me-nots |
|
In an English country garden. |
|
How many insects find their home |
|
In an English country garden? |
|
I'll tell you now of some I know |
|
Those I miss I hope you'll pardon |
|
Dragonflies, moths and bees |
|
Spiders falling from the trees |
|
Butterflies sway in the mild gentle breeze |
|
There are hedgehogs that roam |
|
And little gnomes |
|
In an English country garden. |
|
How many songbirds make their nests |
|
In an English country garden? |
|
I'll tell you now of some I know |
|
Those I miss I hope you'll pardon |
|
Bobolink, coo cooing doves |
|
Robins and the whirlwind thrush |
|
Bluebird, lark, pigeon, nightingale |
|
We all smile in the spring |
|
When the birds all start to sing |
|
In an English country garden. |
