Thank you very much indeed

Thank you very much indeed,

River, for your waving reed;

Hollyhocks, for budding knobs;

Foxgloves, for your velvet fobs;

Pansies, for your silky cheeks;

Chaffinches, for singing beaks;

Spring, for wood anemones

Near the mossy toes of trees;

Summer, for the fruited pear,

Yellowing crab, and cherry fare;

Autumn, for the bearded load,

Hazelnuts along the road;

Winter, for the fairy-tale,

Spitting log and bouncing hail.

But, blest Father, high above,

All these joys are from Thy love;

And Your children everywhere,

Born in palace, lane, or square,

Cry with voices all agreed,

"Thank You very much indeed."
