OUR England is a garden that is full of stately views,Of borders, beds and shrubberies and lawns and avenues,With statues on the terraces and peacocks strutting by;But the Glory of the Garden lies in more than meets the eye. For where the old thick laurels grow, along the thin red wall,You'll find the tool- and potting-sheds which are the heart of allThe cold-frames and the hot-houses, the dung-pits and the tanks,The rollers, carts, and drain-pipes, with the barrows and the planks.
And there you'll see the gardeners, the men and 'prentice boysTold off to do as they are bid and do it without noise ;For, except when seeds are planted and we shout to scare the birds,The Glory of the Garden it abideth not in words.And some can pot begonias and some can bud a rose,And some are hardly fit to trust with anything that grows ;But they can roll and trim the lawns and sift the sand and loam,For the Glory of the Garden occupieth all who come.
Our England is a garden, and such gardens are not madeBy singing:-" Oh, how beautiful," and sitting in the shadeWhile better men than we go out and start their working livesAt grubbing weeds from gravel-paths with broken dinner-knives.There's not a pair of legs so thin, there's not a head so thick,There's not a hand so weak and white, nor yet a heart so sickBut it can find some needful job that's crying to be done,For the Glory of the Garden glorifieth every one.
Then seek your job with thankfulness and work till further orders,If it's only netting strawberries or killing slugs on borders;And when your back stops aching and your hands begin to harden,You will find yourself a partner In the Glory of the Garden.Oh, Adam was a gardener, and God who made him seesThat half a proper gardener's work is done upon his knees,So when your work is finished, you can wash your hands and pray For the Glory of the Garden that it may not pass away!
And the Glory of the Garden it shall never pass away ! ]]> 2016-09-16 19:20:29 UTC https://padlet.com/20emilie_samples/2qngqo4q1x25/wish/124469861 what is it about? 20emilie_samples https://padlet.com/20emilie_samples/2qngqo4q1x25/wish/124470157 In the first verse its explaining what English homes are like and how god is protecting them, the glory signifies pride of the garden, in a garden you do hard work and the work pays off to make something beautiful, the poem is explaining the beauty of england and the hard work it took to make and how god Made everything beautiful.]]> 2016-09-16 19:21:56 UTC https://padlet.com/20emilie_samples/2qngqo4q1x25/wish/124470157 Definition of Glory 20emilie_samples https://padlet.com/20emilie_samples/2qngqo4q1x25/wish/124471699
