What does the speaker in this poem say will happen to "thy thoughts, when thou art gone"?

Music, When Soft Voices Die (To--)
by Percy Bysshe Shelley

Music, when soft voices die,
Vibrates in the memory.--
Odors, 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.

Choices

The speaker will repress them.



They will live on forever for the speaker.



They will sicken and sadden the speaker.

The speaker is now dead. The question is what "Love itself shall slumber on" is referring to in relation to the speaker. Therefore, based on my interpretation the answer should be C. You say a lot of answers on here are incorrect, could you include the wrong answers as to help us narrow down the correct answer?
