St. George

A claret cross on silky cloth
High upon a wooden pole
Waving gently in the breeze
The symbol of a patriot's soul.

English tea, Yorkshire tea
In handmade cups of china
Add milk or sugar as you please
The taste could not be finer.

Yorkshire puds and roasted beef
Spuds and carrots galore
Hot on a patterned plate
Dig in with knives and forks.

Roses crimson standing tall
Daises, buttercups yellow
Surrounded by lush, green grass
Scattered daffodils mellow.

The greatest hero of these lands
A myth, a tale, a folk lore
A story that defines England
The great legend of St. George.
