Oh to be in England | B |
Now that April's there | C |
And whoever wakes in England | B |
Sees some morning unaware | C |
That the lowest boughs and the brushwood sheaf | D |
Round the elm tree bole are in tiny leaf | D |
While the chaffinch sings on the orchard bough | E |
In England now | E |

And after April when May follows | F |
And the whitethroat builds and all the swallows | F |
Hark where my blossomed pear tree in the hedge | G |
Leans to the field and scatters on the clover | H |
Blossoms and dewdrops at the bent spray's edge | G |
That's the wise thrush he sings each song twice over | H |
Lest you should think he never could recapture | H |
The first fine careless rapture | H |
And though the fields look rough with hoary dew | I |
All will be gay when noontide wakes anew | I |
The buttercups the little children's dower | J |
Far brighter than this gaudy melon flower | H |
