THE RUBAIYAT, 1879 EDITION: 23 by OMAR KHAYYAM

First Line: AND WE, THAT NOW MAKE MERRY IN THE ROOM
Last Line: DESCEND -- OURSELVES TO MAKE A COUCH -- FOR WHOM?
Subject(s): LIFE CHANGE EVENTS; TIME;
And we, that now make merry in the Room
They left, and Summer dresses in new bloom,
Ourselves must we beneath the Couch of Earth
Descend -- ourselves to make a Couch -- for whom?
