THE RUBAIYAT, 1879 EDITION: 99 by OMAR KHAYYAM

First Line: AH LOVE! COULD YOU AND I WITH HIM CONSPIRE
Last Line: REMOULD IT NEARER TO THE HEART'S DESIRE!
Subject(s): TIME;

Ah Love! could you and I with Him conspire
To grasp this sorry Scheme of Things entire,
Would not we shatter it to bits -- and then
Remould it nearer to the Heart's Desire!
