Amy Margaret's Five Years Old
Original Text
Evil May-Day (London: David Stott, 1882). Del A446 E45 1883 Fisher Rare Book Library.
1Amy Margaret's five years old,
2Amy Margaret's hair is gold,
3Dearer twenty-thousand-fold
4 Than gold, is Amy Margaret.
5"Amy" is friend, is "Margaret"
7Or peeping daisy, summer's pet?
8 Which are you, Amy Margaret?
9A friend, a daisy, and a pearl,
10A kindly, simple, precious girl, --
11Such, howsoe'er the world may twirl,
12 Be ever,--Amy Margaret!
