Love's Philosophy

Love’s Philosophy

~by Percy Bysshe 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?
