England Recited

ENGLAND,
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.
