This is quoted without a title and without attribution in Our Nation's Peril by Jacob Marvin Rudy (Chicago: The L. W. Walter Company, 1918), page 41:

I would rather have a rosebud
From the friends whose hearts are true
Than flowers around my lifeless form
When earth I've bid adieu.

I would rather have the kindest words
That can be said to me
Than flattery when I'm cold in death
And life has ceased to be.

Then bring me a rosebud sweet—
A rosebud pink and red
I'd rather have just one tonight
Than a million when I'm dead.
