Amy Margaret's Five Year Old by William Allingham

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!
