Poem In Your Pocket Day (poem on my blog instead)

Today is Poem in your pocket day, as mentioned by Michelle over at Poefusion

To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time
by Robert Herrick 

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 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.
