Amy Margaret's Five Year Old

Amy Margaret's five years old,

  Amy Margaret's hair is gold,

  Dearer twenty-thousand-fold

      Than gold, is Amy Margaret.

  "Amy" is friend, is "Margaret"

  The pearl for crown or carkanet?

  Or peeping daisy, summer's pet?

      Which are you, Amy Margaret?

  A friend, a daisy, and a pearl,

  A kindly, simple, precious girl, —

  Such, howsoe'er the world may twirl,

      Be ever, — Amy Margaret!
