THE RUBAIYAT, 1879 EDITION: 4 by OMAR KHAYYAM

First Line: NOW THE NEW YEAR REVIVING OLD DESIRES
Last Line: PUTS OUT, AND JESUS FROM THE GROUND SUSPIRES.
Subject(s): TIME;

Now the New Year reviving old Desires,
The thoughtful Soul to Solitude retires,
Where the White Hand of Moses on the Bough
Puts out, and Jesus from the Ground suspires.
