Re: How to translate this phrase?

This poem is really hard to decipher as we do not have enough background information. What it seems to me it's about the scene on a thundering night and someone is about to die. The first line "On almost the incendiary eve" reveals the thunderous state. The key and lock part should allude to the title "Deaths and Entrances." Samson should refer to the Biblical figure, the mighty hero as mentioned in the Old Testament.

Any opinions from our dear friends? Please chip in your thoughts.
