I Thomas Moore<\/strong><\/p>\nHow sweet the answer echo makes to music at night,
\nAnd, roused by lute or horn, she wakes,
\nAnd far away o’er lawns and lakes goes answering light:<\/p>\n
Yet love half echoes truer far and far more sweet
\nThan e’er, beneath the moonlight’s star,
\nOf horn or lute or soft guitar the songs repeat.<\/p>\n
‘Tis when the sigh – in youth sincere and only then \u2013
\nThe sigh that’s breathed for one to hear,
\nIs by that one, that only dear breathed back again.<\/p>\n
II Emily Bront\u00eb<\/strong><\/p>\nHarp of wild and dream-like strain, when I touch thy strings,
\nWhy dost thou repeat again long-forgotten things?<\/p>\n
Harp, in other, earlier days, I could sing to thee;
\nAnd not one of all my lays vexed my memory.<\/p>\n
But now, if I awake a note that gave me joy before,
\nSounds of sorrow from thee float, changing evermore.<\/p>\n
Yet, still steeped in memory’s dyes, they come sailing on,
\nDarkening all my summer skies, shutting out my sun.<\/p>\n
III William Lisle Bowes<\/strong><\/p>\nHow sweet the tuneful bells’ responsive peal!
\nAs when at opening morn the fragrant breeze
\nBreathes on the trembling sense of wan disease
\nSo piercing to my heart their force I feel!
\nAnd hark! With lessening cadence now they fall.
\nAnd now along the white and level tide
\nThey fling their melancholy music wide
\nBidding me many a tender thought recall
\nOf summer days and those delightful years
\nWhen by my native streams, in life’s fair prime
\nThe mournful magic of their mingling chime
\nFirst waked my wondering childhood into tears!
\nBut seeming now when all those days are o’er
\nThe sounds of joy once heard, and heard no more.<\/p>\n
IV Christina Rossetti<\/strong><\/p>\nWhen I am dead, my dearest, sing no sad songs for me;
\nPlant thou no roses at my head, nor shady cypress tree:
\nBe the green grass above me with showers and dewdrops wet:
\nAnd if thou wilt, remember, and if thou wilt, forget.<\/p>\n
I shall not see the shadows, I shall not feel the rain;
\nI shall not hear the nightingale sing on, as if in pain:
\nAnd dreaming through the twilight that does not rise nor set,
\nHaply I may remember, and haply may forget.<\/p>\n
V Percy Bysshe Shelley<\/strong><\/p>\nMusic, when soft voices die,
\nVibrates in the memory –
\nOdours, when sweet violets sicken,
\nLive within the sense they quicken.<\/p>\n
Rose leaves, when the rose is dead,
\nAre heaped for the beloved’s bed;
\nAnd so thy thoughts, when thou art gone,
\nLove itself shall slumber on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
