[22] And we, that now make merry in the Room
by Omar KhayyamEnglish version by Edward FitzGerald
Original Language Persian/Farsi
And we, that now make merry in the Room
They left, and Summer dresses in new Bloom,
Ourselves must we beneath the Couch of Earth
Descend, ourselves to make a Couch -- for whom?
-- from The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, by Omar Khayyam / Translated by Edward FitzGerald |
