lyrics

As I arose one morning, it was all in the spring,
In fact it was the final day of that merry month of May
I came down to the kitchen, for to make some tea
And as I filled the kettle from the window I did see

My Mother’s Garden so fair
Not a single patch of ground to spare,
From the acer and the lilac tree
To the marjoram and rosemary,
A haven for our precious bees,
My Mother’s garden fair.

Though the cloud is yet to break this day, still the garden it will shine
Bright pink and white are the tall foxgloves, and the rose is blooming fine
Amidst a pale and vast blue sea of forget-me-nots to show
Light and cheery poppies, yellow and orange they do show

In my Mother’s garden so fair
Not a single patch of ground to spare,
From the acer and the lilac tree
To the marjoram and rosemary,
A haven for our precious bees,
My Mother’s garden fair.

Around this time the peacock, and the cabbage white
Flit to and from and land upon with petal thin wings of flight
More rare is the red of the cinnabar whom like his cousins waits
For late in June will surely bloom, the fragrant buddleia

In my Mother’s Garden so fair
Not a single patch of ground to spare,
From the acer and the lilac tree
To the marjoram and rosemary,
A haven for our precious bees,
My Mother’s garden fair. (Repeat chorus)
