So green the land that I can see <br />The hills and fields before my eyes, <br />Which blend with joyful harmony <br />Beneath the peaceful summer skies. <br /> <br />I breathe the morning air so sweet <br />So glad to be alive this day, <br />To see the new shoots of the wheat <br />And hedgerows now adorned with May. <br /> <br />Along the country lane I head <br />Not caring where it leads me to, <br />I know wherever I am led <br />I'll always find a pleasing view. <br /> <br />Beneath the bridge a river flows <br />Where ripples dance and brightly shine, <br />Like diamonds as the water glows <br />And winds unto this heart of mine. <br /> <br />The sweeping slopes of light and shade <br />Where clouds now cast their shade before, <br />With all the beauty there displayed <br />No man could ever ask for more. <br /> <br />So green the land that I can see <br />With gladdened soul I now do roam, <br />And as I go I say with glee <br />Fair England always be my home.<br /><br />ANDREW BLAKEMORE<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/so-green-the-land-that-i-can-see/
