THE RUBAIYAT, 1879 EDITION: 82 by OMAR KHAYYAM

First Line: AS UNDER COVER OF DEPARTING DAY
Last Line: I STOOD, SURROUNDED BY THE SHAPES OF CLAY.
Subject(s): TIME;
As under cover of departing Day
Slunk hunger-stricken Ramazan away,
Once more within the Potter's house alone
I stood, surrounded by the Shapes of Clay.
