The Fly

by Walter de la Mare

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.

Which line from the poem is an example of a simile?

• A rosebud like a feather bed,

• The smallest grain of mustard-seed

• Must little things appear!—
