THE RUBAIYAT, 1879 EDITION: 20 by OMAR KHAYYAM

First Line: AND THIS REVIVING HERB WHOSE TENDER GREEN
Last Line: FROM WHAT ONCE LOVELY LIP IT SPRINGS UNSEEN!
Subject(s): TIME;

And this reviving Herb whose tender Green
Fledges the River-Lip on which we lean--
Ah, lean upon it lightly! for who knows
From what once lovely Lip it springs unseen!
