Meaning Of Line ”Heard Melodies Are Sweeter, But Those Unheard Are Sweeter”

In this poem, the poet describes what he sees on the urn. The contrast between the ”Heard melodies” and the ”unheard” melodies links to the contrast that is established throughout the poem: The ”unheard” melodies of art are purer and perfect precisely because we cannot hear them and therefore do not involve our hearing to perceive them.

The melodies played by these instruments are sweeter than any real music.
