High on a Scottish hill
stood Glamis Castle.
Inside, on a stormy night,
a baby girl was born.
They named her Margaret Rose.
A tiny princess,
full of song and mischief.
She had a big sister,
Elizabeth, whom she loved.
Together they laughed and played.
The whole family adored
their lively little girl.
