We had to sing the song for a while in school music lessons. I believe the first verse went:

Once there was a wild rose gay,
On the moorland growing.
But a careless boy at play
Chanced to see the tempting spray
Which the wind was blowing.

I hope that helps. I can't remember any more verses (and I'm not even sure about 'tempting'), because I didn't like the song. Mind you, I can hardly remember anything about the folk songs I must have been taught in early schooldays - which is probably good otherwise I might have been put off folk song for life. (However, I've often regretted giving up school music lessons altogether at the age of 12, as you had to in order to specialise in Science subjects.)
