A CARPET OF LOVELINESS
It really is a joy to ride
Around our English countryside.
Down familiar country lanes
Looking refreshed after the rain
On a pleasant evening we can see
Blossoming and buds on every tree.
Hawthorn hedges, aroma’s sweet smell
Can be found in fields and dell.
Laburnum blossom is looking radiant
Seen all around in great abundance.
The lilac trees are beautiful
To see them is delightful.
The carpet of bluebells on the ground
Smell their lovely scent all around.
These are priceless gifts of ours
I’m so thankful for trees and flowers.
As no amount of money could ever buy
Let us cherish the beauty
We see with our eyes.
