On the day when death will knock at thy door Lyrics by John Alden Carpenter

Gitanjali (Song Offerings)

0

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
