I would rather have one little rose
From the garden of a friend,
Than to have the choicest flowers
When my stay on earth must end.
I would rather have the kindest word
And a smile that I can see,
Than flattery when my heart is still
And this life has ceased to be.
Bring me all the flowers today
Whether white or pink or red,
I'd rather have one blossom now
Than a truck load when I'm dead.
