Plant a hedge, cut it backDig a hole try to fill itPlant a rose, tie it backFind a mole, try to kill itIt's a maze this garden, it's a maze of waysAny man can spend his dayIt's a maze, this garden, it's a maze of pathsBut a soul can find the wayFor an old man knows how a year it goesHow the cold hard ground in the spring comes 'roundHow the seeds take hold and the birds unfoldHow an English garden growsSkip, skipped the ladies to the master's gateSip, sipped the ladies while the master ateTiptoed the chambermaids and stole their pearlsSnip, snipped the gardener and cut off their curlsCome along, love, come fly away, fly alongCome along, fly away homeCome along, love, you've come a long wayYou've flown all the day, fly away homeMiss a step, trip and fallMiss the path, meet the wallMiss the way, miss a turnGetting lost is how you learnIt's a maze, this garden, it's a maze of pathsMeant to lead a man astrayTake a left and then, turning left againHow a soul can find the wayFor an old man knows how a year it goesHow the cold hard ground in the spring comes 'roundHow in time it shows how a garden growsHow an English garden growsHow the roses climbHow sublime the timeWhen an English garden grows
