And this same flower that smiles today,
Tomorrow will be dying.

Additional quotes by Robert Herrick

I saw a flie within a beade
Of amber cleanly buried.

Here we are all, by day; by night, we're hurled
By dreams, each one, into a several world.

Bid me to live, and I will live
Thy Protestant to be,
Or bid me love, and I will give
A loving heart to thee.

Gather ye rose-buds while ye may, Old Time is still a-flying; And this same flower that smiles today, Tomorrow will be dying. - Robert Herrick
