  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  less
