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!
