THE RUBAIYAT, 1879 EDITION: 96 by OMAR KHAYYAM

First Line: YET AH, THAT SPRING SHOULD VANISH WITH THE ROSE!
Last Line: AH WHENCE, AND WHITHER FLOWN AGAIN, WHO KNOWS!
Subject(s): TIME;
Yet Ah, that Spring should vanish with the Rose!
That Youth's sweet-scented manuscript should close!
The Nightingale that in the branches sang,
Ah whence, and whither flown again, who knows!
