Percy Bysshe Shelley. 17921822618. 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, | 5 |
Are heap’d for the belovèd’s bed; | |
And so thy thoughts, when thou art gone, | |
Love itself shall slumber on. |
