Music, when soft voices die,
Vibrates in the memory.
Odours, when sweet violets sicken,
Life within the sense they quicken,
Rose leaves, when the rose is dead,
are heaped, heaped for the beloved's bed;
and so thy thoughts, when thou art gone.
Love itself shall slumber, slumber,
love itself shall slumber on,
love itself shall slumber on.

Lyrics: Percy Bysshe Shelley
