THE RUBAIYAT, 1879 EDITION: 37 by OMAR KHAYYAM

First Line: FOR I REMEMBER STOPPING BY THE WAY
Last Line: "IT MURMURED-- ""GENTLY, BROTHER, GENTLY, PRAY!"
Subject(s): TIME;
For I remember stopping by the way
To watch a Potter thumping his wet Clay:
And with its all-obliterated Tongue
It murmured-- "Gently, Brother, gently, pray!"
