THE RUBAIYAT, 1879 EDITION: 3 by OMAR KHAYYAM

First Line: AND, AS THE COCK CREW, THOSE WHO STOOD BEFORE
Last Line: "AND ONCE DEPARTED, MAY RETURN NO MORE."
Subject(s): TIME;
And as the Cock crew, those who stood before
The Tavern shouted -- "Open then the Door!
You know how little while we have to stay,
And once departed, may return no more."
