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.

 
William Blake
(1757-1827),
from
Songs of Experience
