Music, When Soft Voices Die

By Percy Shelley
Note:  This poem was probably untitled and had its first line adopted as its name.

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