"A little pink rose in my garden grew,
The tiniest rose of all
'Twas kissed by the sun caressed by the dew.
Oh little pink rose in my garden.
Oh little pink rose 'twas you.
Oh little pink rose of your mother's heart
Have you faded and gone away?
Has the Gardener gathered my little pink rose
For His loveliest garden today?
Did He need one more blossom of your size and hue
And was that the reason the Gardener chose you?
Oh, little pink rose 'twas you."
