Tagore's Gitanjali, POEM NO. 90

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. 

Gurudev Rabindra Nath Tagore
