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 for ever 
    With a sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single;
    All things by a law divine 
In one spirit meet and mingle.
    Why not I with thine?—

See the mountains kiss high heaven 
    And the waves clasp one another;
No sister-flower would be forgiven 
    If it disdained its brother;
And the sunlight clasps the earth 
    And the moonbeams kiss the sea:
What is all this sweet work worth 
    If thou kiss not me?
