2. I n t r oduction o f t h e p o e t Percy Bysshe Shelley ( 4 August 1792 – 8 July 1822) was a British writer who is considered one of the major English Romantic poets.[3][4] A radical in his poetry as well as in his political and social views, Shelley did not achieve fame during his lifetime, but recognition of his achievements in poetry grew steadily following his death, and he became an important influence on subsequent generations of poets, including Robert Browning, Algernon Charles Swinburne, Thomas Hardy, and W. B. Yeats.[5] American literary critic Harold Bloom describes him as "a superb craftsman, a lyric poet without rival, and surely one of the most advanced sceptical intellects ever to write a poem."

4. STANZA #1 Music, ------ die Vibrates ---------memory"

EXPLANATION: Music is called the food of the soul. We love music when we listen to it. This does not mean, we enjoy music only when the singer is before us. We enjoy the soft voices even when the song is dead. In fact, a singer can die away but his songs would never die. They are recorded in our memory and we can enjoy them all the way because they never die in memories.

5. S T ANZA #2

Odors, they quicken -Sickert live within

EXPLANATION: In these lines, the poet talks about the permanent impact of fragrance. The source of the fragrance is sweet violets, which wither away after the spring season. The actual flower is dead but its fragrance is not dead. It is alive with those senses, who had smelt it in the spring season. It means the flowers can die away but their fragrance remains alive in memory and it inspires man all the way.

6. STANZA#3

Rose leaves, beloved's bed. -dead Are heaped

EXPLANATION: In these lines, the poet describes the

everlasting impact of rose leaves. When the

rose is dead, its leaves are not useless. We

take them into many accounts. We decorate

the bed of beloved with those leaves. The

rose is dead but its leaves are coming into

our use because beauty never dies and it

always inspires man.

7. STANZA#4

And so 'thy ------art has gone Love

-----slumber on.

EXPLANATION: These are the last lines of this poem. It is the quality of beautiful things that their objects die away but their impact never dies. The memory of his beloved is one of the beautiful things and thus he can enjoy the memory of his beloved. He does not need her presence. As we can enjoy the songs when the singer is dead. As we can enjoy the fragrance when the violets are withered, so the poet can enjoy the memory of his beloved, when she is gone.

8. T h e m e o f t h e p o e m T he message conveyed in the song "When Soft Voices Die" by Percy Bysshe Shelley is the transient nature of beauty and love. The poet reflects on how everything eventually fades away, even the softest and most beautiful voices, symbolizing the inevitability of loss and mortality. The poem carries a melancholic tone, highlighting the fleetingness of life's pleasures and the importance of cherishing them while they last.
