THE RUBAIYAT, 1879 EDITION: 39 by OMAR KHAYYAM

First Line: AND NOT A DROP THAT FROM OUR CUPS WE THROW
Last Line: EYE THERE HIDDEN -- FAR BENEATH, AND LONG AGO.
Subject(s): TIME;
And not a drop that from our Cups we throw
For Earth to drink of, but may steal below
To quench the fire of Anguish in some
Eye There hidden -- far beneath, and long ago.
