In an English Country Garden

How many kinds of sweet flowers grow
In an English country garden
I’ll tell you now of some that I know
And those that I miss you’ll surely pardon
Daffodils, hearts ease and flox
Meadowsweet and lady smocks
Gentian lupine and tall hollyhocks
Roses, foxgloves, snowdrops, forget me nots
In an English country garden
How many insects come here and go
Through our English country garden
I’ll tell you now of some that I know
And those that I miss you’ll surely pardon
Fireflies, moths and bees
Spiders climbing in the trees
Butterflies that sway on the cool gentle breeze
There are snakes, ants that stinks
And creepy things
In an English country garden
How many songbirds fly to and flo
Through our English country garden
I’ll tell you now of some that I know
And those that I miss you’ll surely pardon
Bobolink, cuckoo and quails
Tanager and cardinals
Bluebirds larks thrush and nightingale
There is joy in the spring
When the birds begin to sing
In an English country garden
Robin
Don’t forget the robins
