 My silver love is shared by all,
 With every flower and bird;
 With every man that greets me well,
 A friendly nod or word.
 My golden love is kept for two,
 That share my fire and mat;
 A little dog with simple ways,
 And my self-conscious cat.
 My diamond love, more precious far,
 Is shared by only one;
 And where She is that love prevails,
 On mat or grass, or stone.
