World, O Life, O Time
O World, O Life, O Time,
On whose last steps I climb,
Trembling at that where I had stood before,
When will return the glory of your prime?
No more, O never more
!
Out of the day and night
A joy has taken flight— Fresh spring and summer and winter hoar Move my faint heart with grief, but with delight No more, O never more!

Music, when soft voices die,
Vibrates in the memory.
Odours, when the 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.Slide13

"Music, When Soft Voices Die" is a poem made up of two stanzas with four lines in each. The rhyme scheme is AABB, even though the first rhyme of the poem isn't perfect (at least, not to modern day ears). This poem is written in trochee foot.
In poetic meter, a trochee, is a metrical foot consisting of a stressed syllable followed by an unstressed one, in English, or a heavy syllable followed by a light one in Latin or Greek. In this respect, a trochee is the reverse of an iamb.Slide18
