Francis T. Palgrave, ed. (1824–1897). The Golden Treasury.  1875.
 
P. B. Shelley
 
CCLXXXVIII. "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.
