晨诵：Gather Ye Rosebuds

Gather Ye Rosebuds

  By Robert Herrick

Gather ye rosebuds while ye may

  Old time is still a - flying

And this same flower that smiles to - day

  to - morrow 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 for ever tarry.
