Amy Margaret's five years old, <br /> Amy Margaret's hair is gold, <br /> Dearer twenty-thousand-fold <br /> Than gold, is Amy Margaret. <br /> "Amy" is friend, is "Margaret" <br /> The pearl for crown or carkanet? <br /> Or peeping daisy, summer's pet? <br /> Which are you, Amy Margaret? <br /> A friend, a daisy, and a pearl, <br /> A kindly, simple, precious girl, -- <br /> Such, howsoe'er the world may twirl, <br /> Be ever, -- Amy Margaret!<br /><br />William Allingham<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/amy-margaret-s-five-year-old/
