No One Knows His Name

from Out Beyond Ideas

No one knows his name
a man who lives on the streets,
and walks around in rags.
and walks around in rags.

No one knows his name
a man who lives on the streets,
and walks around in rags.
and walks around in rags.

Once I saw that man in a dream.
He and God were building
an extraordinary temple.

No one knows his name
a man who lives on the streets
and walks around in rags...

and walks around in rags...
and walks around in rags...


St Francis Bernardone (1182-1226) Assisi, Italy
