Alas, that spring should vanish with the rose!
That youth's sweet-scented manuscript should close!


The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám (1859) st. 72


Alas, that spring should vanish with the rose! That youth's sweet-scented manuscript should close!

Alas, that spring should vanish with the rose! That youth's sweet-scented manuscript should close!

Alas, that spring should vanish with the rose! That youth's sweet-scented manuscript should close!

Alas, that spring should vanish with the rose! That youth's sweet-scented manuscript should close!
