W:How many gentle flowers grow in an English country garden?
W:I'll tell you now, of some that I know, those I miss you'll surely pardon.
W:Daffodils, hearts-ease and flocks, meadow sweet and lilies, stocks,
W:Gentian lupins tall hollyhocks,
W:Roses, fox-gloves, snowdrops, forget-me-knots in an English country garden.

W:How many insects find their home in an English country garden?
W:I'll tell you now of some that I know, and those I miss, I hope you'll pardon.
W:Dragonflies, moths and bees, spiders falling from the trees,
W:Butterflies sway in the mild gentle breeze.
W:There are hedgehogs that roam and little garden gnomes in an English country garden.

W:How many song-birds make their nest in an English country garden?
W:I'll tell you now of some that I know, and those I miss, I hope you'll pardon.
W:Babbling, coo-cooing doves, robins and the warbling thrush,
W:Blue birds, lark, finch and nightingale.
W:We all smile in the spring when the birds all start to sing in an English country garden.
