England Mine

Those lush green hills Bank on bank of daffodils Sentient wooded glade Bluebells hide in shade Oh this England mine Once upon a time Fields of golden corn An ever fragrant dawn Skylarks sing on high Peace in cloudless sky Oh this England mine Once upon a time Babbling waters flow In the evenings glow Stand and cast the fly The wily trout to sly Oh this England mine Once upon a time In another land far away Life and death doth play Of dried earth and baked blood Yet at night the memories flood Oh sweet England mine Once upon a time

I remember being invaded by England in 1964. The greatest invasion in history. I'd love to relive every moment. Even in our country music Roger Miller wrote "England Swings". One of my dreams is a long visit someday. Vince
