THE RUBAIYAT, 1879 EDITION: 15 by OMAR KHAYYAM

First Line: AND THOSE WHO HUSBANDED THE GOLDEN GRAIN
Last Line: AS, BURIED ONCE, MEN WANT DUG UP AGAIN.
Subject(s): FREEDOM; TIME; LIBERTY;
And those who husbanded the Golden grain,
And those who flung it to the winds like Rain,
Alike to no such aureate Earth are turned
As, buried once, Men want dug up again.
