OLD SWEET BEGGAR

                                                            Ramakrishna Paramahansa

This Path to God Made me such an old sweet beggar

I was starving until one night

My Love tricked God Himself

To fall into my bowl

Now Hafiz is infinitely rich

But all I ever want to do

Is keep emptying out

My emerald-filled

pockets

Upon

This tear-stained

World.
