THE RUBAIYAT, 1879 EDITION: 8 by OMAR KHAYYAM

First Line: WHETHER AT NAISHAPUR OR BABYLON
Last Line: THE LEAVES OF LIFE KEEP FALLING ONE BY ONE.
Subject(s): TIME;
Whether at Naishapur or Babylon,
Whether the Cup with sweet or bitter run, --
The Wine of Life keeps oozing drop by drop,
The Leaves of Life keep falling one by one.
