Slumber On Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822)

Christopher H. Harris (ASCAP) (1985) 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 heap'd for the belovèd's bed; And so thy thoughts, when thou art gone, Love itself shall slumber on. --Percy Bysshe Shelley
