<h3><SPAN name="29">THE FLY</SPAN></h3>
Little Fly,<br/>
Thy summer’s play<br/>
My thoughtless hand<br/>
Has brushed away.
<br/><br/>Am not I<br/>
A fly like thee?<br/>
Or art not thou<br/>
A man like me?
<br/><br/>For I dance,<br/>
And drink, and sing,<br/>
Till some blind hand<br/>
Shall brush my wing.
<br/><br/>If thought is life<br/>
And strength and breath,<br/>
And the want<br/>
Of thought is death;
<br/><br/>Then am I<br/>
A happy fly.<br/>
If I live,<br/>
Or if I die.
