First Line: Roses and wine your omar brings
Last Line: We drink, not memory, but hope.
Alternate Author Name(s): Dobson, Austin
Subject(s): Omar Khayyam (1048-1122)
ROSES and Wine your OMAR brings,
Yet o'er the Cup, a Moment-Space,
Peers into Naught with wistful Face,
As One who views but bygone Things.
Not so with Us. Our larger Scope
Looks backward through the Past to see
Not what has been, but what may be --
We drink, not Memory, but Hope.
