A boy saw a little rose standing
_____
Was so young and morning-fair
_____
He ran fast to see it close
_____
Little rose, little rose, little red rose
_____
Boy said: I'll pick you
_____
Little rose on the heath!
_____
Little rose said: I'll prick you
_____
So you'll think of me forever
_____
And I won't allow it
_____
Little rose, little rose, little red rose
_____
And the wild boy broke
_____
The little rose on the heath
_____
Little rose fought back and pricked
_____
Still no pain or woe helped him
_____
Little rose, little rose, little red rose
