<h3><SPAN name="32">MY PRETTY ROSE TREE</SPAN></h3>
A flower was offered to me,<br/>
Such a flower as May never bore;<br/>
But I said, ‘I’ve a pretty rose tree,’<br/>
And I passed the sweet flower o’er.
<br/><br/>Then I went to my pretty rose tree,<br/>
To tend her by day and by night;<br/>
But my rose turned away with jealousy,<br/>
And her thorns were my only delight.
