Let's now take our time,
While we're in our prime,
And old, old age is afar off;
For the evil, evil days
Will come on apace,
Before we can be aware of.
I am busy working to bring Robert Herrick's "To be Merry" to life through some unique musical arrangements and will have a full analysis of the poem here for you later.
In the meantime, I invite you to explore the poem's themes, structure, and meaning. You can also check out the gallery for other musical arrangements or learn more about Robert Herrick's life and contributions to literature.
Check back soon to experience how "To be Merry" transforms when verse meets melody—a unique journey that makes poetry accessible, engaging, and profoundly moving in new ways.
