The air was cool on lilly pools, hazy, lazy
And here and there it stopped to stare
Admiring all the flowers
Wandering 'round for hours

The sun was born, across the lawn
Fantare, Lantare
He saw them linger and with a finger
Open up a rose standing on tiptoes

Suddenly the rain came flurrying
Sending the two of them scurrying
Helter skelter for the shelter
And feeling bolder in the paper border
He gently enquired her name
And they waited till the sunshine came, Kew Gardens

And for a while the griffin smiled
Kindly, blindly
Till the evening bell broke the spell
And sadly they said goodbye and one of the griffins cried
