Maggie And Milly And Molly And May
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
