To -("Music, When Soft Voices Die") by Percy Bysshe Shelley

white flowersMusic, 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 heaped for the beloved's bed;
And so thy thoughts, when thou art gone,
Love itself shall slumber on
