Hi everyone, I am desperately searching for the remaining lyrics to the round Rose. Your database only has the first verse. Here is what I have so far.

Rose, rose, rose, red (or Rose)
When will I see thee wed?
I will marry at thy will, sire.
At thy will.

Ding dong, ding dong,
Wedding bells on an April morn.
Carve your name on a moss covered stone,
On a moss covered stone.

Hey ho, nobody home,
No meat, no drink, nor money have I none.
Still I will be merry
Hey ho, nobody home.

Ding dong, ding dong.
Funeral bells on a September morn.
Rose, my Rose is dead and gone, sire.
Dead and gone.

Descant (over last verse)
As small bird.
Flying high.
Above the darkness of this dark night.

From what I can gather, the song may be about a Crusader going off to war and returning to find his wife has passed away from heartbreak or starvation.

I think there are verses missing between 2 & 3 and 3 & 4
Any input would be appreciated.
