How many gentle flowers grow,
In an English country garden?

I'll tell you now of some that I know,
And those I miss, you'll surely pardon.

Daffodils, heart's ease and flocks,
Meadow sweet and lilies, stocks,
Gentle lupin and tall holly~hocks,

Roses, fox~gloves, snow~drops,
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 that I know,
And those I miss I hope you'll pardon.

Dragon flies, moths and bees,
Spiders falling from the trees,
Butter~flies sway in the mild, gentle breeze.

There are hedgehogs that roam,
And little gnomes,
In an English country garden.

How many song~birds, make their nest,
In an English country garden?

I'll tell you now of some that I know,
And those I miss I hope you'll pardon.

Babbleing, cooing doves,
Robins and the warbling Thrush,
Bluebird, Lark, Finch and Nightingale.

We all smile in the spring,
When the birds all start to sing,
In an English country garden.

In an English country garden.
