THE RUBAIYAT, 1879 EDITION: 73 by OMAR KHAYYAM

First Line: WITH EARTH'S FIRST CLAY THEY DID THE LAST MAN KNEAD
Last Line: WHAT THE LAST DAWN OF RECKONING SHALL READ.
Subject(s): TIME;
With Earth's first Clay They did the Last Man knead,
And there of the Last Harvest sowed the Seed;
And the first Morning of Creation wrote
What the Last Dawn of Reckoning shall read.
