Cottage (Cap Verse) Poem by Christopher Tye

Cottage (Cap Verse)

The English dream of a rural idyll,
Life lived slowly and full of joy,
Yearning for the halcyon days of Edwardian England,
Days sitting in the sunshine observing,
Glorious cottage gardens growing,
Great colours as hollyhocks flower,
Reaping the rewards of nature,
England's cottage gardens a sight to behold,
Damp days spent being cosy by the fireplace,
English Oak beams a thing of beauty and age,
England's rural idyll still surviving.
