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
