THE RUBAIYAT

on BBC Home Service Basic

of Omar Khayyam the Astronomer-Poet of Persia translated into English Verse by Edward FitzGerald 1809-1883
Read by Robert Harris lram indeed is gone with all its

And Jamshvd's Sev'n-rino'd Cup where no one knows;
But still the Vine her ancient Rubv yields.
And still a Garden by the Water blows
