金縷衣-Rosebuds

今日讀到 Robert Herrick 的 《To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time》竟然與杜秋娘的《金縷衣》極其相似，震驚之餘，混搭成歌。

《金縷衣· Rosebuds》

勸君莫惜金縷衣
勸君惜取少年時

Gather ye rosebuds while ye may
Old Time is still a-flying

 

花開堪折直須折
莫待無花空折枝

And this same flower that smiles today
Tomorrow will be dying

 

勸君莫惜金縷衣

勸君惜取少年時

Gather ye rosebuds while ye may

Old Time is still a-flying
