Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám, the astronomer-poet of Persia; . And, as the Cock crew, those who stood beforeThe Tavern shouted — Open then the Door !You know how little while we have to stay,And, once departed, may return no more. IV. Now the New Year reviving old Desires,The thoughtful Soul to Solitude retires, Where the White Hand of Moses on the BoughPuts out, and Jesus from the ground suspires. Iram indeed is gone with all his Rose, And Jamshyds Sevn-ringd Cup where no one knows: But still a Ruby kindles in the Vine,And many a Garden by the Water blows.
