Original text and translations
English text
- On the day when death will knock at thy door, what
- wilt thou offer to him?
- Oh, I will set before my guest the full vessel of my life; I will
- never let him go with empty hands.
- All the sweet vintage of all my autumn days and summer
- nights, all the earnings and gleanings of my busy life, will I
- place before him at the close of my days when death will
- knock at my door.
