The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám

XXI.

Ah, my Beloved, fill the Cup that clears
TO-DAY of past Regrets and future Fears:
    To-morrow—Why, To-morrow I may be
Myself with Yesterday’s Sev’n thousand Years.

XXII.

For some we loved, the loveliest and the best
That from his Vintage rolling Time hath prest,
    Have drunk their Cup a Round or two before,
And one by one crept silently to rest.
