Standard (EADGBE)

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
