Maggie and Molly and Millie and May By e.e. cummings

maggie and millie 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

millie befriended a stranded star who's 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.
