HEDGE ROSES 

Music by SCHUBERT 

 Arr. by MARY S. CONRADE 

1. On his way a boy espied  
Pret ty blushing  rοses, 

Fresh and bright the hedgerow's pride, 

To admire he turns a side,

And to pluck proposes.

Roses roses rses red,

Pretty blushing roses 

2. Thus he speaks: "I gather thee,

Gayest of the roses!  

Rose says: "Better let me be,

Or you will get stung by me."

hen her spikes discloses.  

Roses roses rses red,

Pretty blushing roses 

3.  Still the rude boy pulls away 

This fair queen of roses;

With a wound he has to pay,

But in vain the rose does pray,

Him in vain opposes.   

Roses roses rses red,

Pretty blushing roses
