The Poem

A simple smile face is great for this poem because it shows happiness being had.

Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,

Old Times is still a-flying;

And this same flower that smiles today

Tomorrow will be dying.

The glorious lamp of heaven, the sun,

The higher he's 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 not coy, but use your time,

And while ye may, go marry;

For having lost but once your prime,

You may forever tarry.

To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time
