To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time
Robert Herrick

Gather ye rose-buds 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.


처녀들이여, 시간을 소중히 하길 바란다
로버트 해릭

처녀들이여,
할 수 있을 때 장미 꽃봉오리들을 모아라,
오랜 시간은 끊임없이 달아나고 있다;
오늘 미소 짓고있는 바로 이 꽃이
내일이면 죽어가고 있을 것이다.

천국의 찬란한 등불인 태양이,
더 높이 떠오를수록,
더 빨리 그의 달음박질 끝나기 되면,
그는 일몰에 더욱 가까워질 것이다.
