THE RUBAIYAT, 1879 EDITION: 9 by OMAR KHAYYAM

First Line: EACH MOON A THOUSAND ROSES BRINGS, YOU SAY
Last Line: SHALL TAKE JAMSHYD AND KAIKOBAD AWAY.

Each Morn a thousand Roses brings, you say:
Yes, but where leaves the Rose of Yesterday?
And this first Summer month that brings the Rose
Shall take Jamshyd and Kaikobad away.
