An English Summer's Day
What makes an English summer’s day ?
A heart-shaped fruit so fresh and sweet,
A clear blue sky and flowers gay.
The fragrant scent of new-mown hay
The gentle breeze that waves the wheat.
What makes an English summer’s day ?
Such glorious things, more could I say:
A rippling stream to bathe tired feet,
A clear blue sky and flowers gay.
Along the track I make my way
Through woodland glade towards a seat.
What makes an English summer’s day ?
The whispering leaves, the sun’s last ray,
The robin singing – what a treat !
A clear blue sky and flowers gay.
Upon this springy moss I’ll lay
And listen to the young lambs’ bleat.
What makes an English summer’s day ?
A clear blue sky and flowers gay.
