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.
