The constant sequence of springtime and autumn makes

The constant sequence of springtime and autumn makes by Omar Khayyam

The constant sequence of springtime and autumn makes
the leaves of our existence disappear. Drink wine, my
friend, for sages have well said that grief in this world
is a poison and its antidote is wine.
