If i live or if i die
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Little fly
Your summers play
My thoughtless hand
Has brushed away
And ended your day
Am i not a fly like you
Are you not a man like me
Oh i dance and drink and sing
Till some hand tears off 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 or if i die
