Saw a youth the morning rose blooming in the heather, As her dainty leaves unclose straight to gaze on her he goes, ‘Twas in summer weather. Rose thou pretty rose so red, Rose among the heather.
Said the youth, “I’ll cull thee now, rose among the heather." Said the rose, “My thorn I vow thou shalt feel, ‘tis sharpy now. Me thou shalt not gather!” Rose thou pretty rose so red, Rose among the heather.
But the youth impatient culled rose among the heather, Rose stung sharply as he pulled but alas her days were told, Wounded both together! Rose thou pretty rose so red, Rose among the heather.
So glad to find these lyrics, but just to make a small correction to verse 2: Said the rose, “My thorn I vow thou shalt feel, ‘tis sharp enow (enough) 😁

Can you tell me where to find the rest of this song?
Did you e er find these lyrics.
Im trying to find them to recapture long lost schooldays.
Brings back happy memories of my own schooldays in Stratford (East London) back in the 1940s-1950s,

Rose Among the Heather
Saw a youth the morning rose blooming in the heather,
As her dainty leaves unclose straight to gaze on her he goes,
‘Twas in summer weather. Rose thou pretty rose so red,
Rose among the heather.
Said the youth, “I’ll cull thee now, rose among the heather."
Said the rose, “My thorn I vow thou shalt feel, ‘tis sharpy now.
Me thou shalt not gather!” Rose thou pretty rose so red,
Rose among the heather.
But the youth impatient culled rose among the heather,
Rose stung sharply as he pulled but alas her days were told,
Wounded both together! Rose thou pretty rose so red,
Rose among the heather.
So glad to find these lyrics, but just to make a small correction to verse 2: Said the rose, “My thorn I vow thou shalt feel, ‘tis sharp enow (enough) 😁
