    • 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 heaped for the beloved’s bed;
    • And so thy thoughts, when thou art gone,
    • Love itself shall slumber on.
