[7] Come, fill the Cup, and in the Fire of Spring

by Omar Khayyam

English version by Edward FitzGerald
Original Language Persian/Farsi

Come, fill the Cup, and in the Fire of Spring
The Winter Garment of Repentance fling:
     The Bird of Time has but a little way
To fly -- and Lo! the Bird is on the Wing.

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