Maggie And Milly And Molly And May

by Rihanna

E.E. Cummings (1894-1962)
AMERICAN
Maggie and Milly and Molly and May
went down to the beach one day to play (2x)
and Maggie discovered a shell that sang
so sweetly she couldn’t remember her troubles
Maggie and Milly and Molly and May (2x)
Milly befriended a stranded star
whose rays five languid fingers were.
Maggie and Milly and Molly and May (2x)
Molly was chased by a horrible thing
which raced sideways while blowing blowing.
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
