Lyrics
I once held her in my arms Here eyes like the stars and moon But one night she left my side gone gone too soon So gather your rosebuds while you may old time it is a flying and the same flower that smiles today tomroow will be a dying. A young boy by the riverside throws himself in turns around to find himself grown old and thin Your love was once warm to me now its like ice and fire And though I try to melt it down the walls they grow much higher So gather your rosebuds while you may old time it is a flying and the same flower that smiles today tomorw will be a dying Man is the father of child And child the father of man And round and round and round they go dials in the clicks of gods hand So gather your rosebuds while you may old time it is a flying and the same flower that smiles today tomroow will be a dying Oh that fire the might sun, the higher hes a getting The sooner will his race be done the closer he is to osetting. So gather your rosebuds while you may old time it is a flying and the same flower that smiles today tomroow will be a dying

Hearing this amazing song, I reexperienced the hope and poignancy that Dylan evoked in earlier years. Love it!
