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.
