And they all call it Britain



Crisp green the stems of daffodils
That brave in spring cold sun
Soft tender green the hawthorn buds
Unfurled with winter done
Bright green the fresh leaves on the limes
That verdant branches lace
Dark green the lily’s slender shoot
The moist earth piercing breaks

But greenest of all that is green
An island Earth did make
And they all call it Britain
Natures green estate
