In Respectful Memory

The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám 21

Lo! some we loved, the loveliest and best
That Time and Fate of all their Vintage prest,
Have drunk their Cup a Round or two before,
And one by one crept silently to Rest.

Translated by Edward FitzGerald
From http://www.allspirit.co.uk/dying.html#rubaiyat


In Honour of Ms Alice and her dear husband
Passed on from this world on the 5th of April 2008

May Peace be with ye both
And I thank thee for thy kindness
And rest assured, I shall repay in kind.
