maggie and milly and molly and may
By e. e. cummings
- 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
