     THE NATIONAL DAY OF ENGLAND april 23

ENGLAND my England In England on April twenty-third hurrahs in celebration are to be heard the cross of St George is unfurled to fly & the shouts of true patriots loudly cry My England Rainsoaked fields,pastel green, perennial impressions of country scenes. Shire counties cramped and compact,neither temperate, changeable and in exact. Seasons merging into one, winters' mild,summers of sometime sun. Ancient,historic and quaintly modern, pub-grub,village greens and cricket squares sodden. MY ENGLAND who gifted a WORLD a languge

Love the imagery, surprising the compact shire counties. Love the last few lines too.
