E.E. Cummings (1894-1962)

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
