TO THE VIRGINS, TO MAKE MUCH OF TIME
Robert Herrick (1591-1674)
Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,
Old time is still a-flying:
And this same flower that smiles today
Tomorrow will be dying
The glorious lamp of heaven, the sun,
The higher hes a-getting,
The sooner will his race be run,
And nearer he""s to setting.
That age is best which is the first,
When youth and blood are warmer;
But being spent, the worse, and worst
Times still succeed the former.
Then be nor coy, but use your time,
And while ye may, go marry:
For having lost but once your prime,
You may for ever tarry.
