Love's Philosophy
by Percy Bysshe Shelly (1792-1822)
The fountains mingle with the river
And the rivers with the ocean,
The winds of heaven mix for ever
With a sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single,
All the things by a law divine
In one another's being mingle -
Why not I with thine?
See the mountains kiss high heavens,
And the waves clasp one another;
No sister-flower would be forgiven
If it disdained its brother:
And the sunlight clasp the earth,
And the moonbeams kiss the sea-
what are all these kissings worth,
If thou kiss not me?
