=**//I Heard a Fly Buzz - When I Died//**=

I heard a fly buzz when I died; The stillness round my form Was like the stillness in the air Between the heaves of storm. The eyes beside had wrung them dry, And breaths were gathering sure For that last onset, when the king Be witnessed in his power I willed my keepsakes, signed away What portion of me I Could make assignable,-and then There interposed a fly, With blue, uncertain, stumbling buzz, Between the light and me; And then the windows failed, and then I could not see to see.
 * While she is dieing all she can hear is the sound a of a fly buzzing around her. Everything in the room is silent except for the sound of the fly.**
 * Everyone witnessing her death was crying or had stopped crying because they could no longer cry. Saying the last onset is an oxymoron because "onset" means beginning and she put the word last before it changing the meaning to be her "last beginning". Being a christian that beginning is the beginning of eternal life, or death.**
 * She was ready for death and was expecting it saying she had signed away all her belongings that she could. Then instead of seeing the light or god she can see the fly. Which raises the question that if the fly is a symbol for death then how?**
 * As she saw the light there is still the buzzing noise of the fly around then her eyes fail and she cannot see.**



I heard a fly buzz when I died; The stillness round my form Was like the stillness in the air Between the heaves of storm.

The eyes beside had wrung them dry, And breaths were gathering sure For that last onset, when the king Be witnessed in his power.

I willed my keepsakes, signed away What portion of me I Could make assignable,-and then There interposed a fly,

With blue, uncertain, stumbling buzz, Between the light and me; And then the windows failed, and then I could not see to see.
