Said the boy, " I '11 gather thee, In the hedgerow growing! "
Said the rose, " Then I '11 pierce thee,
That thou may'st remember me, Thus reproof bestowing."
Little wild-rose, wild-rose red, In the hedgerow growing.
Thoughtlessly he pulled the rose, In the hedgerow growing;
But her thorns their spears oppose,
Vainly he laments his woes, With pain his hand is glowing.
Little wild-rose, wild-rose red, In the hedgerow growing. |
