I would rather have one little rose From the ga rden o f a frien d
Than to have the choicestflowers When my stay on earth must end. I would rather have a pleasant word
, In kindness said to me
Than flattery when my heart is still A n d life has ceased to be.
I would rather have a loving smile From friends I know are true
Than tears shed Pound my casket When to this world I bid adieu.
