Two Quatrains By Omar Khyyam Translated by Harold Lamb
When Spring’s bright magic on the meadow lies,
With wine beside me I sit, to devise
A love song to my houri, call me a dog
If I can spare a thought to Paradise.
The wheel of Heaven by which we are amazed
A Chinese lantern like to it we know-
The sun the candle, the universe the shade,
And we like its unheeding shadow forms. |
