When things are not going your way
Lie patient in peace and drift away
Everything falls into place
You have to remember to seize the day

Gather the roses, while you may

When you think there's no more you can take
Your hope and knowledge will guide the way
Please don't lose all your faith
You have to make sure to seize the day

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
