Unfortunately, I have just discovered from this website that Rose Rose, while originally about wanting to see a flower bloom:
Rose, rose, rose, rose Shall I ever see thee red? Aye, marry, that thou wilt An thoult but stay
The now commonly sung version that I am seeing around either goes like this:
Rose, Rose, Rose, Rose, Will I ever see thee wed? I will marry at thy will sire, At thy will.
Or like this:
Rose, Rose, Rose, Rose Will I ever see thee wed. Aye sir, I will marry When I am dead.
None of these versions seem appropriate to today's classroom and while more interested teachers I am sure would take the time to to contextualise the tune etc. it is more likely that the listener will say "well that was very pretty but I couldn't teach that to my children because their parents will write me an angry letter" and my whole resource will not be usable within the classroom. Luckily a singer Emilie Autumn has made her own version that "concludes" the old version with:
Rose, Rose, Rose, Rose
Will I ever see thee wed? Only if you capture me!
...Which is much more in the spirit of women today! However she's played with the music such that she's gotten rid of the fourth line so I've decided to end it with "and only then" to look like:
Rose, Rose, Rose, Rose
Will I ever see thee wed? Only if you capture me,
and only then.
