He came unto the door of heaven,

Free as of old and gay;

“What hast thou done,” the porter cried,

“That thou should’st pass this way?”

“Hast fed the hungry, clothed the poor?”

The vagrant shook his head.

“I drank my wine and I was glad,

But I did not give them bread.”

“Hast prayed upon the altar steps?”

“Nay, but I loved the sun.”
