The Gardener - Christy Moore

The Gardener rises with the sun

He knows there’s work to be done

The reason for every season

He knows when to dig in deep

When to sow and when to reap

That everything begins in spring

He makes his bed with care

And sows his seed with love

The Gardener has a tale to tell

Feed the ground and water well

When planting out he’ll face the south

He is the patint one

Mother Nature’s loving son

Th Robin is a friend of his

And when the day is done

He’ll smile and say … wait til summer comes

And Summer comes and then we’ll see just what he’s done

When blooms of every colour blossom in the sun

The signs of all his care and effort are displayed

And all his time and patience is repaid

The Gardener rises with the sun

He knows there’s work to be done

The reason for every season
