Guest poem submitted by Nandini Krishnamoorthy:
(Poem #1965) To 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 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. |
I was surprised that Minstrels had not run this famous Herrick poem. My first recollection of the poem is from "Dead Poets Society", Robin Williams reading it to the students. It's one of those poems that stays with you forever and a wonderful joy in re-discovering it. Nandini.

Thanks, Thomas, we used to sing this one at school!
Do you like this fragment of Keats?
I STOOD tip-toe upon a little hill,
The air was cooling, and so very still,
That the sweet buds which with a modest pride
Pull droopingly, in slanting curve aside,
Their scantly leaved, and finely tapering stems,
5 Had not yet lost those starry diadems
Caught from the early sobbing of the morn.
The clouds were pure and white as flocks new shorn,
And fresh from the clear brook; sweetly they slept
On the blue fields of heaven, and then there crept
10 A little noiseless noise among the leaves,
Born of the very sigh that silence heaves:
For not the faintest motion could be seen
Of all the shades that slanted o’er the green.

After reading this poetry i think no one can write like tis, this is totally unique and great content that you have posted over here, I think this is never published any where else.
This poem practically brings me to tears, because I know so many
people, perhaps even more than when Prine wrote it, are trapped in
situations just like that.I felt torn up the first time i heard it,
and it still has that power.
just one word : AMAZING
PANCAKES!!!!!!!!!!!
hello!! Very interesting discussion glad that I came across such informative post. Keep up the good work friend. Glad to be part of your net community.
On the very last day of high school, anxious to leave and start our lives, we received from the English teacher mimeographed copies of this poem, and listened as she read it aloud.
It meant nothing to me then. Another poem about youth and rosebuds and time - nothing to do with me and the life into which I was about to embark.
I've often recalled that day, and the poem and the English teacher who tried in vain to urge us, to warn us, to enlighten callow youth.
I wish I could go back and nod wisely and agree.
