I Never Met A Rose lyrics

Oh I have met a daisy But where we met is hazy And I have walked the streets With marguerites And clinging vines beside me Oh I’ve met a lot of those But I never met a rose There’s often been a heather An armful all together And I have even met a violet Who almost satisfied me Yes I’ve met every kind that grows But I never met a rose Among the dahlias I often dally I left a lily in the valley But now and then I ponder And wonder as I wander Among the fields and shrub Perhaps the trouble is Who knows That I never met a rose Never, never met a rose While roaming through the clover Could I have passed her over When all is said and done Am I the one to blame Who knows That I never met a rose Never, never met a rose
