Explore "Covent Garden" by Felix Leigh on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
This is Covent Garden,
What a lively scene! / Here are flowers so pretty, / There are leaves so green. / These are busy buyers, / Busy sellers those, / Selling, buying, selling, / Everything that grows.
Fruits and lovely blossoms / Hither come each day, / Fresh from "other" gardens / Many miles away. / Cabbages potatoes, / Pears and apples too, / Grapes, and pines, and peaches, / All are here on view.
So the air is scented / With the pleasant fruits, / With the bright-hued nosegays, / And the springing roots. / For the little street-boys, / Walking up and down, / It's almost like the country / Brought to London Town.
