Uncle Jack

Uncle Jack knows
A song of the hedgerows

The tilt of the earth
Makes the sun high
In the bright summer sky
Intensity of light
The earth turns around the sun
Spinning around the sun

Uncle Jack knows
A song of the hedgerows
Yes he does
Uncle Jackdaw
You see he’s heard it all before
Ancient and reborn

The flowers and the leaves
The birds and the seeds
The flowers draw the bees
And just after three
Evergreen and a mug of tea
Dog and master sound asleep

Uncle Jack knows
A song of the hedgerows

Don’t you know
The hawthorn, blackthorn, hazel
Hedgerow
Oh Oh
Rose Hips,
Haw Berries
Hedgerow
Dry Stone
Dog Rose
Honeysuckle
Blackbirds
Red Wing
Song Thrush
Yellowhammer
Lacewings
Ladybirds
Fox Earths
Rabbit Warrens
Badger’s Sets
Partridge Nests
Rose Hips
Haw Berries
Hedgerow
Dry Stone
Dog Rose
Honeysuckle
Blackbirds
Red Wing
Song Thrush
Yellowhammer
Lacewings
Ladybirds
Uncle Jack knows
A song of the hedgerows
