Maggie and Milly and Molly and May
|
Went down to the beach (to play one day)
|
|
And Maggie discovered a shell that sang
|
So sweetly she couldn't remember her troubles,and
|
|
Milly befriended a stranded star
|
Whose rays five languid fingers were;
|
|
And Molly was chased by a horrible thing
|
Which raced sideways while blowing bubbles:and
|
|
May came home with a smooth round stone
|
As small as a world and as large as alone.
|
|
For whatever we lose (like a you or a me)
|
It's always ourselves we find in the sea
