Gitanjali — Song 90

Gitanjali — Song 90

Rabindranath Tagore

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.
