Lyrics
The Fly
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,
Thy summer's 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 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
Or if die.
