[68] That ev'n my buried Ashes such a Snare

by Omar Khayyam

English version by Edward FitzGerald
Original Language Persian/Farsi

That ev'n my buried Ashes such a Snare
Of Perfume shall fling up into the Air,
     As not a True Believer passing by
But shall be overtaken unaware.

-- from The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, by Omar Khayyam / Translated by Edward FitzGerald
