POEMS,

CHIEFLY LYRICAL,

COMPILED AND ARRANGED BY

GEORGE H. STRUTT.

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.

P. B. Shelley.

And Memory, too, with her dreams shall come,

Dreams of a former, happier day,
When Heaven was still the Spirit's home,

And her wings had not yet fallen away.
Glimpses of glory, ne'er forgot,

That tell like gleams on a sunset sea,
What once hath been, what now is not,
But oh! what again shall brightly bé.

How Long? .. ..
