| 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 |
