Volume VI. Fancy.  1904.
 
Poems of Sentiment: V. The Arts
To ——
Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
 
MUSIC, when soft voices die,
Vibrates in the memory,—
Odors, when sweet violets sicken,
Live within the sense they quicken.
 
Rose-leaves, when the rose is dead,        5
Are heaped for the belovèd’s bed;
And so thy thoughts, when thou art gone,
Love itself shall slumber on.
