The poet says, “Beauty is heard in …”

Can you hear beauty? Add a sound that you think is beautiful to the sounds the poet thinks are beautiful. 

The poet, Shelley, said: 

Heard melodies are sweet, 

But those unheard are sweeter. 

What do you think this means? Have you ever ‘heard’ a song in your head, long after the song was sung or played?

The chirping of birds is also beautiful. 

The poet says that when we hear melodies, we find it sweet but after hearing those melodies when we imagine about melodies i.e., unheard melodies we found it sweeter than the original melody itself. 

Yes, sometimes I heard long after the song was sung or played.After coming back from the movie hall the songs are heard again and again.
