Wake! For the Sun who scatter'd into flight

omar-khayyam-part-i
EN

Before the phantom of False morning died

omar-khayyam-part-i
EN

And, as the Cock crew, those who stood before

omar-khayyam-part-i
EN

Now the New Year reviving old Desires

omar-khayyam-part-i
EN

Irám indeed is gone with all his Rose

omar-khayyam-part-i
EN

And David's Lips are lock't; but in divine

omar-khayyam-part-i
EN

Come, fill the Cup, and in the fire of Spring

omar-khayyam-part-i
EN

Whether at Naishápúr or Babylon

omar-khayyam-part-i
EN

Each morn a thousand Roses brings, you say

omar-khayyam-part-i
EN

Well, let it take them! What have we to do

omar-khayyam-part-i
EN

With me along the strip of Herbage strown

omar-khayyam-part-i
EN

A Book of Verses underneath the Bough

omar-khayyam-part-i
EN

Some for the Glories of This World; and some

omar-khayyam-part-i
EN

Look to the blowing Rose about us -- "Lo

omar-khayyam-part-i
EN

And those who husbanded the Golden Grain

omar-khayyam-part-i
EN

The worldly hope men set their Hearts upon

omar-khayyam-part-i
EN

Think, in this batter'd Caravanserai

omar-khayyam-part-i
EN

They say the Lion and the Lizard keep

omar-khayyam-part-i
EN

I sometimes think that never blows so red

omar-khayyam-part-i
EN

And this delightful Herb, whose tender green

omar-khayyam-part-i
EN

Ah, my Beloved, fill the Cup that clears

omar-khayyam-part-i
EN

For some we loved, the loveliest and the best

omar-khayyam-part-i
EN

And we, that now make merry in the Room

omar-khayyam-part-i
EN

Ah, make the most of what we yet may spend

omar-khayyam-part-i
EN

Alike for those who for TO-DAY prepare

omar-khayyam-part-i
EN

Why, all the Saints and Sages who discuss'd

omar-khayyam-part-i
EN

Myself when young did eagerly frequent

omar-khayyam-part-i
EN

With them the Seed of Wisdom did I sow

omar-khayyam-part-i
EN

Into this Universe, and why not knowing

omar-khayyam-part-i
EN

What, without asking, hither hurried Whence?

omar-khayyam-part-i
EN

Up from Earth's Centre through the Seventh Gate

omar-khayyam-part-i
EN

There was the Door to which I found no Key

omar-khayyam-part-i
EN

Earth could not answer; nor the Seas that mourn

omar-khayyam-part-i
EN

Then of the THEE IN ME who works behind

omar-khayyam-part-i
EN

Then to the Lip of this poor earthen Urn

omar-khayyam-part-i
EN

I think the Vessel, that with fugitive

omar-khayyam-part-i
EN

For I remember stopping by the way

omar-khayyam-part-i
EN

For has not such a Story from of Old

omar-khayyam-part-i
EN

And not a drop that from our Cups we throw

omar-khayyam-part-i
EN

As then the Tulip for her morning sup

omar-khayyam-part-i
EN

Perplext no more with Human or Divine

omar-khayyam-part-i
EN

And if the Wine you drink, the Lip you press

omar-khayyam-part-i
EN

So when the Angel of the darker Drink

omar-khayyam-part-i
EN

Why, if the Soul can fling the Dust aside

omar-khayyam-part-i
EN

But that is but a Tent wherein may rest

omar-khayyam-part-i
EN

And fear not lest Existence closing your

omar-khayyam-part-i
EN

When you and I behind the veil are past

omar-khayyam-part-i
EN

A Moment's Halt -- a momentary taste

omar-khayyam-part-i
EN

Would you that spangle of Existence spend

omar-khayyam-part-i
EN

A Hair, they say, divides the False and True

omar-khayyam-part-i
EN

Whose secret Presence, through Creation's veins

omar-khayyam-part-i
EN

A moment guess'd -- then back behind the Fold

omar-khayyam-part-i
EN

But if in vain, down on the stubborn floor

omar-khayyam-part-i
EN

Waste not your hour, nor in the vain pursuit

omar-khayyam-part-i
EN

You know, my Friends, with what a brave Carouse

omar-khayyam-part-i
EN

For "IS" and IS-NOT though with Rule and Line

omar-khayyam-part-i
EN

Ah, but my Computations, People say

omar-khayyam-part-i
EN

And lately, by the Tavern Door agape

omar-khayyam-part-i
EN

The Grape that can with Logic absolute

omar-khayyam-part-i
EN

The mighty Mahmúd, Allah-breathing Lord

omar-khayyam-part-i
EN

Why, be this Juice the growth of God, who dare

omar-khayyam-part-i
EN

I must abjure the Balm of Life, I must

omar-khayyam-part-i
EN

Oh threats of Hell and Hopes of Paradise!

omar-khayyam-part-i
EN

Strange, is it not, that of the myriads who

omar-khayyam-part-i
EN

The Revelations of Devout and Learn'd

omar-khayyam-part-ii
EN

I sent my Soul through the Invisible

omar-khayyam-part-ii
EN

Heav'n but the vision of fulfilled Desire

omar-khayyam-part-ii
EN

We are no other than a moving row

omar-khayyam-part-ii
EN

But helpless Pieces of the Game He plays

omar-khayyam-part-ii
EN

The Ball no Question makes of Ayes and Noes

omar-khayyam-part-ii
EN

The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ

omar-khayyam-part-ii
EN

And that inverted Bowl we call The Sky

omar-khayyam-part-ii
EN

With Earth's first Clay They did the Last Man knead

omar-khayyam-part-ii
EN

Yesterday This Day's Madness did prepare

omar-khayyam-part-ii
EN

I tell you this -- when, started from the Goal

omar-khayyam-part-ii
EN

The Vine had struck a Fibre; which about

omar-khayyam-part-ii
EN

And this I know: whether the one True Light

omar-khayyam-part-ii
EN

What! out of senseless Nothing to provoke

omar-khayyam-part-ii
EN

What! from his helpless Creature be repaid

omar-khayyam-part-ii
EN

Oh, Thou, who Man of baser Earth didst make

omar-khayyam-part-ii
EN

As under cover of departing Day

omar-khayyam-part-iii
EN

Shapes of all Sorts and Sizes, great and small

omar-khayyam-part-iii
EN

Said one among them -- "Surely not in vain

omar-khayyam-part-iii
EN

Then said a Second -- "Ne'er a peevish Boy

omar-khayyam-part-iii
EN

After a momentary silence spake

omar-khayyam-part-iii
EN

Whereat some one of the loquacious Lot

omar-khayyam-part-iii
EN

Why," said another, "Some there are who tell

omar-khayyam-part-iii
EN

Well," murmur'd one, "Let whoso make or buy

omar-khayyam-part-iii
EN

So while the Vessels one by one were speaking

omar-khayyam-part-iii
EN

Ah, with the Grape my fading Life provide

omar-khayyam-part-iii
EN

That ev'n my buried Ashes such a Snare

omar-khayyam-part-iii
EN

Indeed the Idols I have loved so long

omar-khayyam-part-iii
EN

Indeed, indeed, Repentance oft before

omar-khayyam-part-iii
EN

And much as Wine has play'd the Infidel

omar-khayyam-part-iii
EN

Alas, that Spring should vanish with the Rose!

omar-khayyam-part-iii
EN

Would but the Desert of the Fountain yield

omar-khayyam-part-iii
EN

Would but some winged Angel ere too late

omar-khayyam-part-iii
EN

Ah Love! could thou and I with Fate conspire

omar-khayyam-part-iii
EN

Yon rising Moon that looks for us again

omar-khayyam-part-iii
EN

And when like her, oh Sáki, you shall pass
