   Little girl, little girl, where have you been?
      Gathering roses to give to the queen.
   Little girl, little girl, what gave she you?
      She gave me a diamond as big as my shoe.


   A rose for a diamond; as big as a shoe:
      Such figures of speech are surely a clue.
   She gave you a diamond, with what to do?
      To have and to hold, to remember the view.
