Listen to:
The Fly (:45)
by Walter De La Mare
performed by Bob Gonzalez, rhapsode
How large unto the tiny fly
Must little things appear!—
A rosebud like a feather bed,
Its prickle like a spear;
Must little things appear!—
A rosebud like a feather bed,
Its prickle like a spear;
A dewdrop like a looking-glass,
A hair like golden wire;
The smallest grain of mustard-seed
As fierce as coals of fire;
A hair like golden wire;
The smallest grain of mustard-seed
As fierce as coals of fire;
A loaf of bread, a lofty hill;
A wasp, a cruel leopard;
And specks of salt as bright to see
As lambkins to a shepherd.
A wasp, a cruel leopard;
And specks of salt as bright to see
As lambkins to a shepherd.
