St. Luke, xii, 16-20.
Ah, One there was who thought within his heart,
‘What shall I do, my barns are all too small A room wherein to store my goods apart?
This will I do : destroy them one and all,
And build them greater, safely then to hold My grain and fruits in plenty, so shall be Rich competence assured when I am old,
And to my soul will I speak secretly :
Thou hast much goods laid up for many a year,
Eat, drink, and make good cheer, take thy repose,
O Soul, for whose but thine shall these things be?’—
When swift upon his boast, death hovered near,
God said, ‘Thou Fool! Whose shall they be—who knows?
This night do they require thy soul of thee!’
Edwin Essex, O.P.
