| Little fly, your summer’s play
|
| My thoughtless hand has brushed away
|
| Am not I a fly like you
|
| Or are not you a man like me
|
| For I sing, dance and drink
|
| Till some blind hand shall brush my wing
|
| If thought is life, strength and breath
|
| And the want of thought is death
|
| Then am I a happy fly if I live, or if I die
|
| Then am I a happy fly if I live, or if I die
|
| (Play away, fly, man
|
| Drink, dance, sing, thought
|
| Strength, breath, life, death
|
| Play away, fly, man
|
| Drink, dance, sing, thought
|
| Strength, breath, life, death,
|
| Play away, fly, man
|
| Drink, dance, sing, thought, strength, breath, life, death)
