Poems of Sentiment: V. The Arts

To ——

Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

MUSIC, when soft voices die,

Vibrates in the memory,—

Odors, when sweet violets sicken,

Live within the sense they quicken.

Rose-leaves, when the rose is dead,

Are heaped for the belovèd’s bed;

And so thy thoughts, when thou art gone,

Love itself shall slumber on.
