The Fly
by William Blake, 1794
Little fly,
Thy summer's play
My thoughtless hand
Has brushed away
Am I not
A fly like thee?
Or art thou not
A man like me?
For I dance
And drink and sing
Till some blind hand
Shall brush my wing
If thought is life
And strength and breath,
And the want
Of thought is death,
Then am I
A happy fly,
If I live,
Of if I die.
