Omar’s Lament
John W. Duarte * Track #2 On Five Quiet Songs
Omar’s Lament Lyrics
Yet ah! That Spring should vanish with the rose!
That Youth's sweet-scented manuscript should close!
The nightingale that in the branches sang
Ah whence and whither flown again, who knows!
Ah, Love! Could thou and I with Fate conspire
To grasp this sorry scheme of things entire
Would we not shatter it to bits -- and then
Re-mould it nearer to our heart's desire!
