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
