Percy Bysshe Shelley

CCLXXXVIII. “Music, when soft voices die”

MUSIC, when soft voices die,

Vibrates in the memory;

Odours, when sweet violets sicken,

Live within the sense they quicken;

Rose leaves, when the rose is dead,

Are heap’d for the belovèd’s bed:

And so thy thoughts, when thou art gone,

Love itself shall slumber on.
