THE RUBAIYAT, 1879 EDITION: 28 by OMAR KHAYYAM

First Line: WITH THEM THE SEED OF WISDOM DID I SOW
Last Line: "I CAME LIKE WATER, AND LIKE WIND I GO."
Subject(s): TIME;
With them the seed of Wisdom did I sow,
And with mine own hand wrought to make it grow;
And this was all the Harvest that I reaped--
I came like Water, and like Wind I go."
