THE RUBAIYAT, 1879 EDITION: 76 by OMAR KHAYYAM

First Line: THE VINE HAD STRUCK A FIBER; WHICH ABOUT
Last Line: THAT SHALL UNLOCK THE DOOR HE HOWLS WITHOUT.
Subject(s): TIME;
The Vine had struck a fibre; which about
If clings my Being--let the Dervish flout:
Of my Base metal may be filed a Key
That shall unlock the Door he howls without.
