Sunken lanes adorned with wild garlic
Banks covered in bluebells
Drooping under the weight of their purple flowers
Crying out “we’re English”
Reminding us of those famous words
“Sink me the ship master Gunner, split her in twain, fall into the hands of God not into the hands of Spain”
We’re in Cornwall here
Where the bluebells are quintessentially English
No Spanish here!
