Love\'s Philosophy
—Percy Shelley
The fountains mingle with the river,
And the rivers with the ocean,
The winds of heaven mix forever
With a sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single
All things by a law divine
In another\'s being mingle —
Why not I with thine?
See, the mountains kiss high heaven
And the waves clasp one another;
No sister flower could be forgiven
If it disdained its brother:
And the sunlight clasps the earth,
And the moonbeams kiss the sea —
What are all these kissings worth.
If thou kiss not me?
