To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time

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 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．

更待何时

采摘玫瑰花蕾更待何时,
时光老人脚步分秒不停；
今日绽放笑容的花朵,
明天就会凋零。

太阳在东方点起天灯,
瞬息之间就照上头顶；
他在与时光赛跑,
不一刻就要匆匆西沉。

年轻时充满激情,
人生宝贵就在青春；
光阴飞逝时不我待,
每过一天脸上就多一道皱纹。

切莫害羞, 把时间抓紧,
找好爱的归宿正当妙龄；
少女们，青春一去永不重返,
何必终生独自空等。

罗伯特•赫里克(Robert Herrick1591—1674)英国诗人 这首诗是对姑娘们发出爱的呼唤。词语的象征意义犹如日冕月华,有待读者潜心体会。标题暗示“玫瑰花蕾”、“赛跑”等词语的丰富蕴含。紧迫情绪您能心领神会吗?
