EPITAPH ON A VAGABOND

CARELESS I lived, accepting day by day

The lavish benison of sun and rain,

Watching the changing seasons pass away

And come again.

Now the great harvester has stilled my breath;

In this cold house I neither hear nor see.

Though in my life I never thought of death,

Death thought of me.
