As I walked past, I couldn't help but see
A pretty little rose, as lovely as can be
Teardrops glistened, on petals oh so sweet
Dear little rose, you are so petite

Never mind little rose, hold your head high
For all the world to see you as they pass by
Your gentle fragrance is for all to share
Drifting around you as you grow there

When the night draws in and sheds its dew
Remember little rose that I love you
