How many gentle flowers grow
In an English country garden?
I'll tell you now of some I know

And those I'll miss you'll surely pardon
Daffodils, heart's ease and phlox
Meadowsweet and lilly stalks

Gentain, lupin and tall hollyhocks
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

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
Blackbirds 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.


Robin, don't forget the Robin.
