The Fly
Little Fly
Thy summers play
My thoughtless hand
Has brush’d away.
Am not I
A fly like thee?
Or art not thou
A man like me?
For I dance
And drink &; sing;
Till some blind hand
Shall brush my wing.
If thought is life
And strength &; breath;
And the want
Of thought is death;
Then am I
A happy fly,
If I live
Or if I die.
