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 a pleasant word
In kindness said to me
Than flattery when my heart is still
And life has ceased to be.

I would rather have a loving smile
From friends I know are true
Than tears shed round my casket
When this world I bid farewell and adieu.
