Little rose, Little rose in my hair, You must never, No never die; For he nestled you there With the tenderest care, ‘Ere he kissed me And said goodbye. Little rose, Little rose, do not die, For you tell Of the one I miss; Of a tender goodbye And a bittersweet sigh, And the mem’ry Of one sweet kiss.
