Vibrates in the memory.
vibrates in the memory.
Odours, when sweet violets sicken,
Odours, when sweet violets sicken,
Life within the sense they quicken.
live within the sense they quicken.


Rose leaves, when the rose is dead,
Rose leaves, when the rose is dead,

are heaped, heaped for the beloved's bed;
and so thy thoughts, when thou art gone.
and so thy thoughts, when thou art gone.
Love itself shall slumber on.
Love itself shall slumber on.}}

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