Der englische Schriftsteller und Humorist
Thomas Hood 1798 - 1845
schrieb das Gedicht nach welchem wir uns benannt haben.
Beate Kynast und Susanne Wolf haben zudem das Gedicht vertont.
It was not in the Winter
Our loving lot was cast;
It was the time of roses -
We plugg'd them if we pass'd
That churlish season never frown'd
On early lovers yet:
O no - the world was newly crown'd
With flowers when first we met!
`Twas twilight, and I bade you go
But still you held me fast;
It was the time of roses -
We plugg'd them, if we pass'd!
