He Died Unheeding Life

He died heedless of life's sustaining causes,

He died heedless of others' hopes and pauses.

His heart enraptured, visionary, free—

All that he wished was but God's will to see.

He realized only what the Almighty decreed—

From love immaculate, with incense's breed;

He hoped to witness goodness on the open lea.
