How Large Unto The Fly

How Large Unto The Fly :




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 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.
