Here is a possibility ...
The Rose-Elf by Hans Christian Anderson (Fairy Tales 1839)...
read it HERE: http://hca.gilead.org.il/elf_rose.html

short version of the ending:
the evil brother gets it in the end, stabbed by the elves of the roses poisoned spears.

HCA was a rather gruesome story teller, hard to think of him as writing for children.
