Here is the first quatrain of “The Rubaiyat”:
AWAKE! For Morning in the Bowl of Night
Has flung the Stone that puts the Stars to Flight:
And lo! the Hunter of the East has caught
The Sultan’s Turret in a Noose of Light.
© Omar Khayyam (Tr. Fitzgerald)

Two beautiful haiku Dolores, I like your 2nd the most. That one is a real masterpiece.
