"Music, When Soft Voices Die"

"Music, When Soft Voices Die” by Percy Bysshe Shelley

Music, when soft voices sie,
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 beloved's bed;
And so thy thoughts when thou are gone,
Love itself shall slumber on.
