The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam

Read On, Dear Friends, Read On

Now the New Year Reviving Old Desires

Now the New Year reviving old desires,
The thoughtful soul to solitude retires,
Where the white hand of Moses on the bough
Puts out, and Jesus from the ground suspires.

Iram Indeed Is Gone!

Iram indeed is gone with all its rose,
And Jamshed's sev'n-ring'd cup where no one knows;
But still the vine her ancient ruby yields,
And still a garden by the water blows.
