There was a rose bush in a garden growing	A
Its tender leaves unfolding day by day	B
The sun looked on and his down going	A
Left it amid the starlit dusk of nights of May	B
	-
The dew drop came and kissed it in the gloaming	A
It gathered sweetness in the morning hours	C
The bee beheld it as he went aroaming	A
And thought 'What honey will be hidden in its flowers '	-
	-
The light grew richer and the days grew long	A
The May time deepened into June	D
The air was laden with the robin's song	A
The light wind touched the leaves and set them atune	D
	-
And now a tiny bud appeared and then another	E
Bright promises of radiant flowers	C
The breezes whispering told it to each other	E
The rose bush heard them in the gladsome hours	C
	-
New Hope awoke and thrilled in all it veins	F
Life is so sweet that culminates in flowers	C
It smiled and grew in misty summer rains	F
And caught the freshness of the evening showers	C
	-
And oft the gardener came and stood beside	G
He tended it alway with zealous care	H
Watching lest any evil should betide	G
Or blight creep o'er the leaves that grew so fair	H
	-
He crushed the buds and dropped them on the ground	I
The rose bush felt a chill in every vein	D
It drooped as if to hide each bitter wound	I
This strange experience was its earliest thought of pain	D
	-
'Poor little plant ' the gardener thought	J
Thou art too young too young to know	D
That few buds unto flowers are brought	J
It is by pruning thou must grow '	-
	-
And still the summer smiled and shoned	J
And other roses bloomed and died	J
'Mine would more beauteously have blown '	-
The little rose bush sadly sighed	J
	-
Again the gardener sought his flowers	C
Where he had watched his treasures blow	D
The autumn blast has swept the bowers	C
The winds and storms has laid them low	D
	-
Though sad of heart the rose bush still was green	D
It lifted up its drooping head	J
'The life that would have filled the buds may still be seen	D
'Tis folded in its heart ' he said	J
	-
He stooped and took it from the ground	J
All trembling with its vague alarms	K
And quick and tenderly he wrapped it round	J
And kindly bore it in his arms	K
	-
And now where soft the sunshine flows	L
Within a fair immortal bower	E
In all its fragrant beauty blooms the rose	L
Its every bud grown into perfect flower	E
