ROAD TO CHICHESTER

Take the road to ChichesterThrough England's greenest greenSmooth hills like breasts upheavingA sight that must be seen

This England is my England

So full of glories past

Sailors viewed this landscape

To sail before the mast

Hot fields of golden stubble

Cool trees of deepest green

Black rooks that strut the roadside

To peck for grubs and preen

Yes, this England is my England

And yours I'm hoping too

So keep this land as always

A place for me and you

Michael Rowson
