England
- Oh! England, my Lionheart,
I'm in your garden, fading fast in your arms.
Contents |
England is the lion's share of the United Kingdom.
We currently live in England (in Wolverhampton) and, in the past, we lived in Sheffield and in Southampton.
- Give me one kiss in apple-blossom.
- Give me one wish, and I'd be wassailing
- In the orchard, my English rose,
- Or with my shepherd, who'll bring me home.
Cities
- Flapping umbrellas fill the lanes—
- My London Bridge in rain again.
