In Herrick’s poem the quote, “Gather he rosebuds while he may, Old Time is still a-flying; And this same flower that smiles today Tomorrow will be dying”, conveys the idea of carpe diem. Carpe down means seize the day. This quote conveys carpe fine by using analogies of a flower. The flower represents life and the rosebuds represent year of your life. So in the first line is is basically saying live as many years as you possible can. The second line is saying that time is forever and will never stop. The third and fourth line sort of go hand-in-hand. The third says that life can be good one day and then the fourth line says that no matter the day before tomorrow could be horrible. It means you should live life to the fullest because you don’t know what tomorrow will hold. One thing I’ve done to live life to the fullest and make it extraordinary is do what I love, which is playing volleyball.

O Me! O Life! - Walt Whitman
Oh me! Oh life! of the questions of these recurring,
Of the endless trains of the faithless, of cities fill’d with the foolish,
Of myself forever reproaching myself, (for who more foolish than I, and who more faithless?)
Of eyes that vainly crave the light, of the objects mean, of the struggle ever renew’d,
Of the poor results of all, of the plodding and sordid crowds I see around me,
Of the empty and useless years of the rest, with the rest me intertwined,
The question, O me! so sad, recurring—What good amid these, O me, O life?

                                       Answer.
That you are here—that life exists and identity,
That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse.

To the Virgins, Make Much of Time - Robert Herrick 
Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,
   Old Time is still a-flying;
And this same flower that smiles today
   Tomorrow will be dying.

The glorious lamp of heaven, the sun, 
   The higher he’s a-getting,
The sooner will his race be run,
   And nearer he’s to setting.

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.
