Walter de la Mare - The FlyWalter de la Mare - The Fly
Work rating: Low


How large unto the tiny fly 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-see As fierce as coals of fire; A loaf of bread, a lofty hill; A wasp, a cruel leopard; And specks of sale as bright to see As lambkins to a shepherd.
