THE RUBAIYAT, 1879 EDITION: 92 by OMAR KHAYYAM

First Line: THAT EV'N MY BURIED ASHES SUCH A SNARE
Last Line: BUT SHALL BE OVERTAKEN UNAWARE.
Subject(s): TIME;
That e'en my buried Ashes such a snare
Of Vintage shall fling up into the Air,
As not a True-believer passing by
But shall be overtaken unaware.
