maggie  and milly  and molly  and may
 went down  to the beach  (one day...to play)
 and maggie discovered  a shell  that sang
 so sweetly  she couldn’t remember  her troubles,
maggie  and milly  and molly  and may
maggie  and milly  and molly  and may
 and
milly befriended  a stranded star
 whose rays,  whose rays  five languid fingers were;
maggie  and milly  and molly  and may
maggie  and milly  and molly  and may
 and molly  was chased  by a horrible  thing
 which raced  sideways, blowing  .......blowing.......blowing:  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  that we  find in the sea
