maggie and millie and molly and may
e.e. cummings

1maggie and milly and molly and may
went down to the beach (to play one day)

3and maggie discovered a shell that sang
so sweetly she couldn't remember her troubles, and

5milly befriended a stranded star
whose rays five languid fingers were;

7and molly was chased by a horrible thing
which raced sideways while blowing bubbles: and

9may came home with a smooth round stone
as small as a world and as large as alone.

11For whatever we lose (like a you or a me)
it's always ourselves we find in the sea
