Thread Name: 'Rose' or 'Peace' round - counter-verses/variants
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Rose, Rose, Rose (Round)
This has been gone over, over and over. See especially thread 1143: Rose etc.
1. The verse is not known from before the 20th century.
2. The added verses are either independent or belong to other rhymes (floaters).
If you read the thread linked above, I think you will find that the 'Peace' rhymes are by 'kytrad' and are in the "Friends Hymnal."
